Literary Criticism of the Old Testament
This well-written introduction to the method
of literary criticism gives the reader an
awareness and appreciation of the rich
diversity of thought found in the Old
Testament. The student is shown how to
identify the elements of structure, style,
form, language, and composition in the books
of the Old Testament. Norman Habel
demonstrates how literacy criticism works
with examples which are familiar and well-suited for a beginner's
level of study. The
literary features of Genesis 1-9 are fully
explored, then the author focuses on the
importance of the Yahwist and priestly
sources for the whole Pentateuch. This
book's explanation of techniques used in the
process of literary criticism will be
valuable to both student and professor.
