Reviews

'... a significant contribution to the study of retelling, biblical hermeneutics, and material philology ... This book moves the conversation about genre and rewriting to a new level as it is both theoretically sophisticated and philologically rigorous.' Hindy Najman, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
