Childbirth as a Metaphor for Crisis: Evidence from the Ancient Near East, the Hebrew Bible, and 1QH XI, 1-18 - Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft
Claudia D. Bergmann
Crises and catastrophes of various kinds have always confronted humans with great challenges. This study examines the question of how literary texts process and deal with these challenges through the imaginary world of metaphors. It concentrates on the metaphor of childbirth, which compares people racked with crisis to women in labour.
