This collection introduces the linguistic field of discourse analysis and its application to the study of the Hebrew Bible. Departing from an earlier emphasis on the analysis of sentences and parts of sentences, linguistics have more recently broadened their approach to include an examination of entire texts and discourse units. Applying this approach to biblical texts offers hope of resolving several long-standing persistent literary questions.
