Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In Sex, Wives, and Warriors, our understanding of Old Testament
narrative is expanded though Phillip Francis Esler's application of
an intercultural reading of the texts, focusing on the question:
"What would ancient readers have understood from these stories?"
This approach reveals previously undiscovered levels of meaning in
the Old Testament which readers all too often fail to place in its
original cultural and historical context. Esler draws on a wide
range of disciplines, and in particular brings the techniques and
insights of the social sciences to bear in his analysis. Not only
is this reading contextualised and its significance for the Ancient
Israelites explored, but Esler utilises scholarship on myth
structure and Jungian archetypes to further clarify this original
understanding. This is a book ideal for anyone wishing a closer
engagement with the biblical texts. Esler makes the narratives
resonate with pivotal stories from the Christian and Jewish
tradition and in doing so inspires us with their imaginative and
literary power and enhances our capacity for intercultural
understanding.
