In its wanton celebration of violence, the book of Nahum poses
ethical challenges to the modern reader. O'Brien offers the first
full-scale engagement with this dimension of the book, exploring
the ways in which the artfulness of its poetry serves the book's
violent ideology, highlighting how its rhetoric attempts to render
the Other fit for annihilation. She then reads from feminist,
intertextual and deconstructionist angles and uncovers the
destabilizing function of the book's aesthetics. Finally, she
demonstrates how mining Nahum's ambiguities and tensions can
contribute to an ethical response to its violence. This is a
reprint of the 2002 edition.
