According to Fields, biblical narrative is didactic socio-religious
commentary on human experience, reflected in 'history', and that
such 'history' is a way of describing the conceptual universe of
the ancient authors. Biblical narrative is strikingly free of
abstract formulations but encapsulates abstract reflections, within
recurring literary motifs, and by the reporting of 'historical
information'. This perception of biblical narrative is strikingly
illustrated by an analysis of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah
(Genesis 19). The motifs of the Sodom tradition are compared with
those in the stories about the concubine in Gibeah (Judges 19) and
about the destruction of Jericho (Joshua 2).
