Dynamics of Biblical Parallelism

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, "e;The Range of Biblical Metaphors inSmikhut,"e;by late Russian linguist Lida Knorina. Berlin calls this addition "e;innovative and instructive to those who value the linguistic analysis of poetry."e; It is a fitting coda to Berlin's adept analysis.
