NO OF PAGES: 180 SUB CAT I: Tanach SUB CAT II: Ethics SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Renowned scholar Gordon J. Wenham offers "Story as Torah", a succinct monograph demonstrating how Old Testament narratives can indeed function as "Torah," informing one's ethical choices. Wenham examines how certain narrative phenomena - such as the repetition of key words or themes, the overall rhetorical purpose of a book, intertextual correspondence, and key contextual indicators of mood - provide clues to the ethical message of the implied author. He uses the books of Genesis and Judges as test cases, examining texts that offer clear moral guidance as well as those in which the ethical lesson is dubious. The end result is an accessible book that will help seminarians, pastors, and other students and scholars of the Bible use Old Testament narrative more responsibly.NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon Marketplace.

It can sometimes be difficult for the modern reader to know whether the author of an Old Testament book is commending or condemning certain acts. Professor Wenham turns to modern literary theory and ethical analysis to show how two quite different books of the Old Testament, Genesis and Judges, offer ethical models of behaviour. He focuses on the attitudes of the authors rather than the morals of the characters in the stories, and argues that these models are actually closer to New Testament ideals than has previously been recogised.
