Reviews

This collection of essays constitutes a broad and comprehensive introduction to the field of so-called 'new' or 'postclassical' biblical narrative criticism. ... this volume is first and foremost a major tool for further study, in line with the tradition of the Oxford Handbooks series. * H. Debel, Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses *
