Clines presents a series of discourses, spanning three decades, from an increasingly postmodern perspective. Rather than using only methods of deconstruction, he combines traditional methods with postmodern ideas of analysis, resulting in a substantial reading of the Hebrew Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClines's selected sequence of articles and papers-ten of them not previously published-displays a golden thread of a scholar's journey in biblical interpretation. Some of the papers, like 'The Evidence for an Autumnal New Year in Pre-exilic Israel Reconsidered', are far from postmodern in their outlook, and sit in intriguing juxtaposition with others such as 'The Postmodern Adventure in Biblical Studies'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays are organized in eight sections; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Method, Literature, History (Vol. I.), \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Theology, Language, Psalms, Job, and, entertainingly, Divertimenti (Vol. II).
