E-raamat: "e;Why Ask My Name?"e;: Anonymity and Identity in Biblical Narrative

This is in many ways a fascinating book. By the end of it I felt that I had been invited into a deep level of engagement with the OT text, as my attention was drawn to anonymous characters whom I might otherwise have noticed but not lingered on. It is a book primarily for scholars, but it is non-technical and therefore accessible to anyone with an interest in literary approaches to the Bible and in particular the issue of the construction of character in narrative. * Gillian Cooper, Book Reviews, Biblical Studies Anvil, Vol.18, No.2, 2001 * Through her patient, detailed exposition she shows anonymity to be a multi-faceted phenomenon with sophisticated nuances in individual passages. The book remains very accessible and readable throughout. Postmodernists and more traditional exegetes alike will find much of value in Reinhartz's work. * Sarah J.Melcher, Hebrew Studies, 41, 2000 * Insightful observations abound throughout the volume... this book is responsibly researched, with attention to studies beyond the boudaries of biblical scholarship... the book is valuable in that it reveals anonymity's rich and varied contributions to biblical narrative. Her frequent exegetical insights come as a delightful bonus. * Review of Biblical Literature. Greg Carey. *
