Reviews
"A fascinating account." * Review of Biblical Literature *
"A well-researched, attractively written examination of the larger biblical context of Melville's masterpiece, and it provides a capable overview of a variety of nineteenth-century exegetical and hermeneutical traditions on the five Old Testament figures it scrutinizes." * Christianity and Literature *
"Well argued and well written, this is a book for all students of Melville." * CHOICE *
"Each of the book's five chapters is deftly written and certainly demonstrates Pardes' proficiency in the fields of literary criticism and biblical exegesis." * Missiology *
