And God Said What?: An Introduction to Biblical Literary Forms

"And God Said What? introduces the reader to the importance of understanding the various literary forms that appears in Scripture: myth, legend, debate, fiction, Gospel, parable, allegory, letters, and revelations. This revised edition also includes psalms, the infancy narratives, and miracle stories. Each genre is clearly defined, and the importance of understanding the characteristics of each form to find meaning is explored in relation to many well-known biblical passages: "Samson," "Lot's wife," "Jonah," "puzzling parables," "666," and many more."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
