Hidden polemics in biblical narrative

In a fascinating exposé of the sub-text of the Bible, this book shows that covert polemics is a significant feature of biblical writing on various contentious issues, such as cultic locations (Beth El, Jerusalem), leadership (the houses of Saul and David), community boundaries (the Samaritans) and other problems of legitimation.
