This comprehensive book aims to provide a comprehensive framework for examining the literary portrayal of biblical tropes across different eras.

These historical accounts are presented as exemplars.
Furthermore, the book explores the works of several early and late Twentieth-Century rewriters of the Bible, analyzing their approaches to biblical tropes and identifying common characteristics as well as unique features. In the concluding chapters, the author groups together a diverse range of other writers under specific headings, such as "The Great Disrupters," to explore their approaches to biblical tropes and draw conclusions and suggestions for further research.
