On Bread Alone: The Symbolic Function of Manna in the Hebrew Bible

我的博士项目是在希伯来语圣经的文本吗哪 * 的文学符号的探索和理解其神学意义的发展在随后的解释，显示其发展作为一个可塑性的连接概念化神圣的忠诚，智慧和创造。核心的研究问题是双重的：如何突出吗哪在某些文本中的作用，帮助观众的理解他们的文化叙事，以及如何在文化叙事的变化影响如何成为反过来使用的象征？从根本上说，这是一个解释学的对话过程的探索文本和故事的理解如何适应随着时间的推移不断变化的上下文和隐喻在这一过程中的作用。为了评估这一发展，该项目将对希伯来圣经中包含吗哪的段落进行训诂调查;然后将这些调查结果应用于解释早期犹太教和基督教的文本。

My doctoral project is an exploration of the literary symbol of manna* in the text of the Hebrew Bible and the development of the understanding of its theological significance in subsequent interpretation, showing its development as a malleable connection to conceptualizing divine faithfulness, wisdom, and creation. The core research question is twofold: how does highlighting the role of manna in certain texts aid the audience's understanding of their cultural narrative, and how do changes in the cultural narrative influence how the symbol becomes used in turn? Fundamentally, it is an exploration of the hermeneutical process as dialogical-how the understanding of texts and stories adapts to changing contexts throughout time-and the role of metaphors in that process. In order to evaluate the development, the project will undergo an exegetical survey of the passages which incorporate manna in the Hebrew Bible; it will then apply these findings to explain in turn texts from early Judaism and Christianity.
