In this book, Michael Fishbane approaches the Hebrew Bible from a literary point of view. He demonstrates how, just as orators use particular techniques such as repetition and pause to convey their message in the way they require, the Hebrew Bible authors used a range of literary devices to communicate a religious message applicable to particular historical moments, each with their own political, moral and theological contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"very readable and instructive introduction to a literary reading of scripture.\" * Epworth Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"a useful contribution to the study of the Bible as literature.\" * Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *\u003cbr\u003e\"this volume still retains its freshness\" * Theological Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"there are stunning insights clearly presented\" * World Faiths Encounter *\u003cbr\u003e\"A beautifully written little volume containing … sensitivity to language, spiritual insight, and passionate faith.\" John G.
