Toczyski uses his study to examine how this story has been read by various audiences across time, the different interpretive perspectives and methodologies that have thus been brought to the text and the influences this has had on the manner in which the story has been interpreted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn particular Toczyski focuses on internal literary analysis of Joshua 2 and the external historical approach and what this can say about the readers of the text. The purpose of such insight is to register how successive interpretations overlap and set the interpretative pattern for subsequent generations of readers. As a result of this conceptual framework, Toczyski presents the Rahab story in the broader context of the communicative process, which has been challenging the story's readers for centuries. This deep immersion into both internal and external contexts reveals the generally-overlooked thread within the Rahab story, namely \"the power of storytelling\", which may prove relevant for contemporary readers by providing grounds for inter-cultural dialogue in the postmodern world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrzej Toczyski SDB\u003c\/b\u003e is lecturer in Biblical Studies at the Faculty of Theology of the Salesian Pontifical University, Jerusalem Campus, Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42577853874272,"sku":"9780567692610","price":110.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/NkVBcUhEcVpYdVh4Vy9RRGFDc05NUT09.webp?v=1770774934","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-geometrics-of-the-rahab-story-a-multi-dimensional-analysis-of-joshua-2-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
