The Rhetoric of Revelation in the Hebrew Bible

In this new Overtures to Biblical Theology volume, Patrick brings a fresh approach to the question of how analysis of rhetoric helps the reader address the question of Israel's understanding of how God communicates. After explaining his method and tracing the development of rhetorical study, the author focuses on key passages in the Hebrew Bible to demonstrate its usefulness: from the call of Moses and the Decalog to the prophets' announcements of Yahweh's judgment.
