Description

The Old Testament's stories are intriguing and provocative due to their ancient literary craft and ongoing relevance. This volume provides guidance on interpreting narrative passages of Scripture by exploring standard literary elements such as plot, characterization, setting, pace, point of view, and patterns of repetition. A practical resource for college and seminary students, the book also includes an appendix with examples of narrative interpretation, a feature that sets it apart from other books on Old Testament interpretation.
