A book utilizing literary and rhetorical techniques to provide a better understanding of the great complexity and purposefulness present within Old Testament narrative.While the author considers such "fiction," and holds to the documentary hypothesis, he nevertheless does show how the text of the Bible is not haphazard but often is quite intentional and purposeful in its presentation. The author does very well at showing patterns and themes used in Biblical narrative. If the reader can wade through the advanced vocabulary of the author, he or she will gain a more nuanced understanding of the form and functions of Biblical narrative.

Robert Alter is a genius. I hope to emulate him in all areas of life. He knows Kafka and Joyce, and he also knows Kugel and Lowth. Could there be a more admirable man?
