MATTHEW MICHAEL is presently a Research Fellow at the Department of Old and New Testaments at Stellenbosh University, South Africa and the Academic Dean of ECWA Theological Seminary in Kagoro, Nigeria. He has published several articles on the literary and artistic features of the Hebrew narratives.
Dr Michael's book is a well-researched and well-written contribution to the current focus on stylistics in the literature of the Old Testament . . . the stylistic devices are seen as ful lling certain semantic functions that express a message to the world of the author as well as to readers of today. As such, the question of contemporary relevance - which is a major focus of Dr Michael's immediate academic context, that of African Old Testament scholarship - is not absent, rather approached from a new and fascinating perspective.
