Moore shows how an ingenious literary artistry converges powerfully with contextual dynamics to explicate the surprising and subtle saving actions of Yahweh in a troubled time. Each of the stories offers its own fresh disclosure of the time-worn tradition expressed in Elisha's own name: 'God saves'.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;95.Bible stories, EnglishHistorical booksBible stories, EnglishHistorical books.222.506Moore Rick Dale1469491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782265403321God saves3680980UNINA
