This range of perspectives, and the wide scope of lonely individuals within the Hebrew Bible, raises awareness for the reality and complexity of loneliness and puts into words the pain, problems, and possibilities of this highly relevant phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Hildebrandt\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Nazarene Theological College, Manchester, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEkaterina E.
