Blenkinsopp works from the perspective of acknowledging the text's literary integrity as an 'authored' work, rather than focusing simply on the its background in various sources (whilst of course paying due attention to those sources). This enables Blenkinsopp's engaging discussion to focus upon the literary and theological artistry of the material at hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Blenkinsopp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567372871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567372871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Joseph Blenkinsopp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476855185663,"sku":"9780567372871","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_910fb3aa-a37a-4f51-8116-39745c8871d8.jpg?v=1715918354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creation-un-creation-re-creation-joseph-blenkinsopp-9780567372871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
