About the book

This collection brings together three biblical works with very different literary forms: Genesis, with its accounts of Creation, the patriarchs and the origins of Israel; the Book of Jonah, a compact prophetic narrative about flight, repentance and mercy; and the Song of Songs, a sequence of lyrical love poetry. Together they demonstrate the extraordinary range of narrative, symbolism and poetic language within the Hebrew Bible.
