Includes bibliographical references.
The language poets use -- First things first: the primacy of the image -- How is A like B? the use of metaphor and simile -- Make believe: poetry and the nonliteral -- Artistic beauty: the parallelism of biblical poetry -- The composition of biblical poems -- What we need to know about biblical poems -- Putting all the pieces together: how to "explicate" a biblical poem -- What are the main types of psalms?
This is the second of a projected six-volume series called Reading the Bible as Literature (the first volume being How Bible Stories Work). An expert at exploring the intersection of the Bible and literature, Ryken shows pastors and students and teachers of the Bible how to appreciate the craftsmanship and beauty of biblical poetry and how to interpret it correctly. Dr. Ryken goes one step further than merely explaining the genre of poetry-he includes exercises to help students master this rich literary treasure.
