Transformations of Genre in the Nehemiah Memoir.

Sean Burt analyzes the nature of this text through the lens of genre criticism and identifies the impact of its use of genres on its early reception in Ezra-Nehemiah. Drawing upon contemporary theorists of literary genre, within the field of biblical studies and beyond, he builds an understanding of genre capable of addressing both its flexibility and its necessarily historical horizon. 230 Seiten mit 8 Tafeln, gebunden (Journal of Ancient Judaism.
