Some of the papers like 'The Evidence for an Autumnal New Year in Pre-exilic Israel Reconsidered' are far from postmodern in their outlook and sit in intriguing juxtaposition with others such as 'The Postmodern Adventure in Biblical Studies'.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>The essays are organized in eight sections; </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>- Method Literature History (Vol. I.)</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>- Theology Language Psalms Job and entertainingly Divertimenti (Vol. II).
