The Maximalist/Minimalist Debate over Historical Memory in the Primary History of the Old TestamentReviewsLet it be said from the start that this book is great: it is dedicated to fighting for its cause and yet it is full of prudence and restraint.[...]I found Gnuse's book very engaging in that his tone is always prudent and circumspect, his arguments well founded or, if not, not forced upon the reader. I also found the thematic and narrative comparisons always detailed and the device of the 'implied transmission channel' interesting so as to open our minds to cultural familiarity. All this should invite biblical scholars to accept dialogue and reflect further upon history and methodology. -Stephanie Anthonioz, Histos Author InformationRobert Karl Gnuse is the James C.
