The Poems and Psalms of the Hebrew Bible (Oxford Bible Series)
by Susan E. Gillingham, S. E.. Gillingham
Category: History

This book concentrates on the poetry of the Hebrew Bible. After considering the essential elements of Hebrew verse, it looks at the most familiar poems - the Psalms, the Song of Solomon, and the poetry in Job and Proverbs - as well as at less familiar examples of poems which by contrast are embedded in narrative such as war poetry, harvest hymns, elegies, prayers of protest, and thanksgiving songs.
