This volume challenges the assumptions that modern readers tend to make about four of the Hebrew Bible's most prominent heroes. Using a form of reader-response theory, Kissling examines the assumption that these characters are primary vehicles of the narrator's point of view. In three of the four cases it is concluded that traditional idealistic assumptions do not do justice to the textual evidence in its final form. The work calls upon the reader to consider the subtlety of the means used in portraying these heroes and gives evidence for the decidedly negative aspects in their portrayals.

Shipping terms
For Domestic orders, shipping is based upon the total weight of the order & not per book. Shipping rates to most countries are now based upon the actual weight of the book or books, so ( all things being equal ) the price for shipping is the true cost of sending your order. So, a small paperback will be far cheaper than a large tome - CHEERS ABE FOR THIS. We ship to all nations. All items are packed individually and to a very high standard, using only easily recyclable materials. We DO NOT just stick the book in a polythene mailer with a prayer.
