Between Hearing and Silence provides carefully organized and analyzed forms of Old Testament silence, including readings of complex silences, like god's silence in Job. It expands the reader's point of view beyond the page and into dimensions of space, time, relationships, and politics. For those who have not paid attention to silences, this study will be eye-opening and immerse the reader into the emotional realm of biblical characters. For those interested in the theoretical sophistication of the analysis of silence, the book provides an example of how the multiple dimensions of silence can challenge biblical hermeneutics. --Brett J. Esaki Reading Religion Written for a general readership which draws on the Bible for contemporary life, this exploration of silence is also valuable to biblical scholars because Kessler's close reading of texts involving silence offers perceptive exegetical observations and thought-provoking considerations. --Thomas Renz Journal for the Study of the Old Testament A thorough and thought-provoking exploration. --Mark McEntire Catholic Biblical Quarterly

A thorough and thought-provoking exploration. --Mark McEntire Catholic Biblical Quarterly
