In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible's many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God. In so doing, Alter shows, these writers reshaped not only history, but also the art of storytelling itself.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939315384551,"sku":"9780465022557","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_ae72728d-94c4-4f20-a83b-286a8927def0.jpg?v=1775101920","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/the-art-of-biblical-narrative-revised-updated","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
