In three sections, Bodner studies a range of texts in order to illustrate that literary analysis has value for exploring numerous issues in the discipline, including text-critical problems, the Deuteronomistic History, and Chronicles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with a discussion of how literary analysis is a vital, yet neglected, component of textual criticism, Bodner then offers a sustained engagement with one particular section of the Hebrew Bible, the so-called \"ark narrative\" of 1 Samuel 4-6. Other areas of the Hebrew Bible are subsequently explored, including a sample of the historiographic material in the Deuteronomistic History and a lengthy text from the book of Proverbs. Part four turns to the often neglected books of 1 \u0026amp; 2 Chronicles, illustrating how the Chronicler's work is a congenial site for literary study. The assembled essays petition for a heightened awareness of the artistic achievement of the Hebrew Bible and illustrate that literary thinking is a necessary component for biblical interpretation.","brand":"T \u0026 T Clark International","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086747197591,"sku":"9780567451965","price":17743.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780567451965.webp?v=1767266261","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-artistic-dimension-literary-explorations-of-the-hebrew-bible-9780567451965","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
