“These rules teach us that the basic outlook of Israel toward food was not just to gain nourishment but to reflect God’s goodness in ordering creation. What one ate was highly symbolic of what one believed.”
Lawrence Boadt, Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction

“Apocalypticism refers to the belief that God has revealed the imminent end of the ongoing struggle between good and evil in history. Apocalypse is a genre of revelatory literature with a narrative framework, in which a revelation about the future or the heavenly realm is mediated by an otherworldly being to a human recipient, disclosing a transcendent reality. The Greek word apokalypsis means “uncovering” or “revelation.”
Lawrence Boadt, Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction

“To simply read the Bible all on one level as though no changes had taken place in biblical thought over the centuries is to miss the living spirit of Israel’s growing faith. Form criticism seeks to capture that actual growth.”
Lawrence Boadt, Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction
