Remembering Jacob: The Literary Representation Of Memory In The Jacob Narrative, Isaac Borbon
Remembering Jacob: The Literary Representation Of Memory In The Jacob Narrative, Isaac Borbon
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis seeks to describe the Jacob narrative through the lens of memory. Taking Gen 28:10-22 as a case study, the objective is to place Jacob’s visit to Bethel alongside other ancient referential claims, analyzing it for authentic memories.
