Annotation

Meir Sternberg's classic study is ';an important book for those who seek to take the Bible seriously as a literary work.' (Adele Berlin, Prooftexts) In ';a book to read and then reread' (Modern Language Review), Meir Sternberg ';has accomplished an enormous task, enriching our understanding of the theoretical basis of Biblical narrative and giving us insight into a remarkable number of particular texts.' (Journal of the American Academy of Religion). The result is a ';a brilliant work' (Choice) distinguished ';both for his comprehensiveness and for the clearly-avowed faith stance from which he understands and interprets the strategies of the biblical narratives.' (Theological Studies). The Poetics of Biblical Narrative shows, in Adele Berlin's words, ';more clearly and emphatically than any book I know, that the Bible is a serious literary worka text manifesting a highly sophisticated and successful narrative poetics.'
