"Drawing on the insights and methods of literary analysis, historical criticism, and comparative religion, David Damrosch here examines the origins and development of biblical narrative. He explores the links between narrative and ancient Near Eastern literature, and shows how an increased awareness of the historical sources of biblical literature can lead readers to perceive more clearly the power and beauty of the texts in their canonical form."
