This volume presents a collection of essays aimed at further
integration of literary analysis in the study of the Hebrew Bible.
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. Beginning 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 & 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.
