Style And Structure In Biblical Hebrew Narrative by Jerome T. Walsh (English) Pa

Description: Style And Structure In Biblical Hebrew Narrative by Jerome T. Walsh The authors of the Hebrew Bible used a variety of stylistic devices to structure, to connect, and to separate their tales—and thus to establish contexts within which meaning comes to light. What are these devices, and how do they guide our reading and our understanding of the text? Style and Structure in Biblical Hebrew Narrative explores some of the answers, and shows Scriptural interpretation can be "a matter of style."
