In The Semantics of Glory, Marilyn Burton offers a new model for a cognitive semantic approach to ancient languages, and in particular Classical Hebrew, demonstrating this model through its application to the semantic domain of the term “Glory” in Classical Hebrew.
Despite its centrality in mainstream linguistics, cognitive semantics has only recently begun to establish a foothold in biblical studies, largely due to the challenges inherent in applying such a methodology to ancient languages. The Semantics of Glory addresses these challenges by offering a new, practical model for a cognitive semantic approach to Classical Hebrew, demonstrated through an exploration of the Hebrew semantic domain of glory. The concept of ‘glory’ is one of the most significant themes in the Hebrew Bible, lying at the heart of God’s self-disclosure in biblical revelation. This study provides the most comprehensive examination of the domain to date, mapping out its intricacies and providing a framework for its exegesis.

Marilyn E. Burton gained her Ph.D. in Old Testament from the University of Edinburgh (2014). Her research focuses on the application of cognitive linguistics to ancient languages, and particularly its practical outworking in the field of biblical translation and exegesis.
