| Summary: | This book, by the late professor of biblical studies at Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, is a companion volume to his Toward a Grammar of Biblical Poetics (Oxford, 1992), in which, by utilizing rhetorical or poetic techniques, he first made the case for the aesthetic wholeness of the Hebrew Bible. Whereas the first volume analyzed narrative texts relating to the prophets, in this volume Herbert Brichto devotes his literary analysis to the early Genesis narratives, including the Creation, Flood, and Abraham stories. |
