Laura Feldt

The Fantastic in Religious Narrative from Exodus to Elisha

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that perspectives drawn from literary-critical theories of the fantastic and fantasy are apt to explore Hebrew Bible religious narratives. The book focuses on the narratives' marvels, monsters, and magic, rather than whether or not the stories depict historical events.
