The book, "Breaking the Code? Poetic Meter in Biblical Poetry," is a unique blend of memoir, academic research, and content designed for a general readership. This book, for the first time, systematically and clearly reveals the existence of poetic meter in the Song of the Sea, the Song of Deborah, and most of the hallelujah psalms in the book of Psalms. This discovery carries significant implications for the study of biblical poetry, the interpretation of psalm titles, the historical and cross-cultural context of Hebrew poetry, the analysis of the Hebrew language, as well as New Testament studies.
In the course of history, Italian sculptors have "sculpted" in their works diverse interpretations of the Bible, Greek mythology and current events. This book illustrates the creative means artists, from Donatello to Canova, used to interpret freely the various texts and episodes, claiming the supreme liberty of art. Guy Shaked studied art and music at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1999 he received an Italian government grant to expand his research in Italian sculpture in Rome. Some of his recent studies have won international acclaim.
