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 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=813806 ER -
