Patterns of Destiny
"Diane Sharon uses the tools of structuralist literary criticism to uncover social and theological patterns in the literature of the Hebrew Bible. After providing a brief framework for understanding the approach used in her study, she demonstrates that the social activity of eating and drinking, when accompanied by other literary motifs, is part of a pattern portending the establishment or condemnation of a cultural entity. This pattern she refers to as the Pattern of Destiny." "In addition to defining the "destiny pattern," Sharon shows that the "direction" of the eating and/or drinking event provides clues regarding the nature of the destiny portended: whether the event will turn out to the positive or negative for the individual or cultural entity is signaled by clues within the eating/drinking event, sometimes in opposition to the surface structure of the text in which these clues are embedded." --Book Jacket.

Biblical Hebrew in Transition
The purpose of this work is to determine the place of the book of Ezekiel in the history of the Hebrew language, especially in relationship to the canonical books of the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew of Ezekiel contains grammatical and lexical features that are characteristic of the postexilic and postbiblical periods, and should thus be distinguished from earlier Hebrew works of the classical period. It does not, however, contain as much late Hebrew as other canonical books deemed to be late. The book of Ezekiel should thus be regarded as the representative mediating link between pre-exilic and postexilic Biblical Hebrew.
Bind Up the Testimony
Bind Up the Testimony is a collection of essays from a colloquium held at Wheaton College in 2013. It brings together a variety of evangelical responses to the differing conclusions of mainstream and conservative scholars regarding the authorship and dating of the book of Isaiah. Some claim that multiple authors wrote the Book of Isaiah, while others believe an 8th-century B.C. Judean prophet penned the entire work. Offering a more nuanced view, a diverse group of evangelical scholars suggests that careful attention to the complex history of the text need not be a hindrance in accepting it as divinely inspired Scripture.
