Narrative Art in the Bible

Dr. Bar-Efra is Head of Biblical Studies at the Hebrew University Secondary School, Jerusalem.

"Bar-Efrat's...book is relatively free of such technical jargon, and when these terms do appear, they are simply and clearly explained.....the book is particularly useful to introduce those who may already be somewhat familiar with the Bible to basic concepts involved in reading it as narrative, although they are left hanging if they want to pursue such concepts much further....his narratological insights remain valuable, and his own writing style is accessible to a wide range of readers."- George Aichele, The Bible and Critical Theory, Vol. 1, Number 3, 2005
