The Dynamics of Biblical Parallelism

<DIV>Understanding of biblical poetry is enhanced by the study of its structure. In this book Adele Berlin analyzes parallelism a major feature of Hebrew poetry from a linguistic perspective. This new edition of Berlin's study features an additional chapter "The Range of Biblical Metaphors in<I>Smikhut</I>"by late Russian linguist Lida Knorina. Berlin calls this addition "innovative and instructive to those who value the linguistic analysis of poetry." It is a fitting coda to Berlin's adept analysis.</DIV>
