Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2021
Few issues have been more neglected in the field of biblical studies than the role of emotions. Though the literary approach has led to profitable insights, the danger in studying the text as a chirographic artifact is that one may neglect to consider the emotional consequences that arise from the performative event.
