Biblical Intersections Ser.: Narratology and the Pentateuch Targums : A Methodological Experiment by Simon Lasair and Walter Woodburn Hyde (2019, Hardcover)
In this innovative book Simon Lasair explores some of the potentials of applying narratology to the Pentateuch Targums. Lasair argues that when the targums present coherent narratives, they largely carry the major structures of the Pentateuch over into an Aramaic context. This book calls for a wide ranging rethink of the methodologies used to study targumic literature, as well as how to place the targums within their original historical contexts.
