The Dynamics of Biblical Parallelism, Paperback/Adele Berlin

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 Smikhut , -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.
