This is the case whether one looks at a text in its historical contexts (the diachronic approach) or its literary contexts (the synchronic approach). Three representative texts are chosen from the Law (Genesis 2-3), the Writings (Isaiah 23) and the Prophets (Amos 5), and each is read first by way of historical analysis and then by literary analysis. Each text provides a number of variant interpretations and raises the question--is any one interpretation superior? 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Old Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v354. 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal. 676 $a221.6 700 $aGillingham$b S.
