1 online resource (xv, 250 pages) This book offers a synchronic exegesis of Saul's night visit to the witch of En-dor (1 Samuel 28:3-25), focusing on the web of repetitions of visual elements, of symbols, of sounds, of entire scenes, and of keywords. Kent shows how an artistry of repetition and non-repetition helps to build characterization, plot, structure, as well as prophetic fulfillments, foreshadowing, and inter-textual warnings. He also argues that film theory applied to the analysis of story in the Hebrew Bible helps us attain much greater clarity in our appreciation of the functions of narrative repetition.
