David Jobling reads 1 Samuel as a story that is complete in itself, although it is part of a much larger narrative. He examines it as a historical document in a double sense: (1) as a document originating from ancient Israel and (2) as a telling of the past. Organizing the text through the three interlocking themes of class, race, and gender, Jobling asks how this historical - and canonical - story relates to a modern world in which these themes continue to be of crucial importance. While drawing on the resources of biblical narratology,` Jobling deviates from mainstream methodology. He adopts a `critical narratology` informed by such cultural practices as feminism and psychoanalysis. He follows a structuralist tradition which finds meaning more in the text's large-scale mythic patterns than in close reading of particular passages, and seeks methods specific to 1 Samuel rather than ones applicable to biblical narrative in general.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">David Jobling</note> <subject> <topic>narration -- analyse -- `Bible AT Samuel I`</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">222.4306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">D249-J62</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0814650473</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_177829529_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_177829529_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070455.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
