These songs were first used elsewhere and thus are `twice-used.` The result is a serious, helpful, innovative appraisal of Scripture portions that often seem `out of place` within their narrative contexts. With the aid of this new application of insights from the theatre arts, portions of Scripture spring up fresh and alive, giving the present-day reader valuable insights into why these `twice-used songs` are found where they are, and how they were designed to draw in the original readers/hearers to these passages.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Terry Giles</note> <subject> <topic>Hebrew poetry, Biblical</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">221.0663</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T329-G47</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781598562729</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070412.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
