YHWH in the Wind(s)

His Creation, Destruction, and Restoration Drama

About this book

From interdisciplinary, intertextual, and comparative analytical perspectives, this book engages with the epistemologies of the Global South and Global North to reveal a fresh insight into the image of YHWH in the guise of the phenomenal wind(s) and the purpose of this image in the biblical Hebrew tradition. Therefore, this book showcases YHWH appearing with the potent wind(s) to create and transform chaos into cosmic order at primal creation. Likewise, this discourse presents YHWH breaking into the historical and social realm in his various sociopolitical roles to destroy all forms of chaotic force by his bluster of wind(s) and to establish, maintain, or restore world/social order founded on his rule of justice and righteousness. This accounts for the view that all creation and order originate from YHWH and are maintained by YHWH's innate rules of ethical governance. This fresh insight into the sights and sounds of YHWH asserting his rule in the dramaturgical wind(s) not only renders new meaning to biblical texts within their contexts but also offers a persuasive message and alluring theological reflections that can shape new discourses to engage and address contemporary theological and social issues of equity, justice, and harmony within YHWH's intended design of world and social order.
