Reviews
This is the finest introduction to biblical poetry I know, a deeply thought and felt investigation of the aesthetics and intellectual work of the biblical poets. It is personal, precise, and imaginative, a pleasure to read, and an invitation to read with pleasure. * Francis Landy, Review of Biblical Literature *
Elaine James's engaging and beautifully written book is a welcome addition to the Essentials of Biblical Studies series that offers timely and approachable entries into important topics. * Brent A. Strawn, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology *
