Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Over the past two decades, biblical interpretation employing a social identity approach has flourished and shows no signs of slowing down. Linda M. Stargel builds upon this rich tradition, combining the study of collective memory and social identity to present an exciting new approach to reading the exodus narratives. With both care and creativity, she describes the process of creating and maintaining a collective identity through powerful narrative rhetoric.”
