Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Soren Lorenzen examines the entanglement of persons, names, and the self in the Hebrew Bible. The results of the investigation add to current discussions on personal identity taking place within Hebrew Bible studies.

How are names related to the self in the Hebrew Bible? Are names simply ornamental, or are they tied to the essence of the embodied bearer? To answer these questions, Soren Lorenzen traces various functions of proper names and explores how the lexeme “name” is conceptualized as an object to be perceived by the senses. With Paul Ricoeur as a dialogical partner, the author brings a new perspective on how the self is formed in the intentional relation between persons and name(s).
