Book Description:
|
Power and Marginality in the Abraham Narrative is a book which forces its readers to read the story from the outside in. Hemchand Gossai explores six texts, five from the Abraham narrative and Judges 19. While each of these studies is self-contained, collectively they carry a common theme, that of the marginalized and submerged voices. Employing literary and other allied approaches, this study focuses on the canonical text and elicits new interpretations.
