In this book Helen Paynter offers a radical re-evalution of the
central section of Kings. Reading with attention to the literary
devices of carnivalization and mirroring, she demonstrates that it
contains a florid satire on kings, prophets and nations. Building
on the work of humorists, literary critics and biblical scholars,
the author constructs diagnostic criteria for carnivalization
(seriocomedy), and identifies an abundance of these features within
the Elijah/Elisha and Aram narratives, showing how literary
mirroring further enhances their satirical effect. This book will
be of particular interest to students and scholars concerned with
the Hebrew Bible as literature but will be valued by those who
favour more historical approaches for its insights into the Hebrew
text.
