Katerina Koci charts the development of the promised land motif, starting from its biblical roots and examining its reception over the centuries until the present day. As her cornerstone, Koci uses Hans-Georg Gadamer’s claim that there are two complementary paths towards understanding and knowledge: science and art. Thus, to be faithful to the creed of the great hermeneutist, Koci ventures into both topics, arguing that while science sets out historical-critical analysis of the promised land motif in the Hebrew Bible and its later receptions, art enriches the interpretation with its literary illustrations. This volume places particular focus on American contexts, since the concept of the promised land is so deeply intertwined with American religious-political mythologies, and with the art of John Steinbeck and Walter Brueggemann in particular. By discussing artistic interpretation in biblical hermeneutics, the context and reception of Genesis 15.7 and Exodus 3.8 in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, and the history of the promised land motif and its interpretations, Koci argues that artistic receptions of biblical motifs are crucial for biblical scholarship in opening new hermeneutical and thematical horizons.

In this volume, Katerina Koci redefines our understanding of gender-related sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible. Through an exploration of the figures of Jephthah’s unnamed daughter, Isaac, and the classical princess Iphigenia, the biblical roots of sacrifice, gendered sacrifice and the existential phenomenology of sacrifice are woven together, liberating these chosen figures from long-standing gender stereotypes.Koci begins with a historical-critical examination of female sacrifice, including a syntactic-structural analysis of the original Hebrew text, Judges 11:29-40. Koci explores two parallel sacrificial narratives: from the Hebrew Bible, the story of the binding of Isaac in Genesis 22, and from Classical mythology, Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis. By employing systematic investigation of the reception of sacrifice within existential phenomenology and theology, she focuses on the sacrificial experience of the individual and examines the concept of female sacrifice within the framework of feminist philosophy and theology. Ultimately, Koci offers an insight into the nuances that define gendered sacrifice and how the sacrificial experience may or may not differ if we consider both gender fluidity and other experiences, such as motherhood, that are inherently gendered.
