The Poetic Vision of Isaiah
This chapter is an attempt to meet Robert Carroll’s challenge to account for and imaginatively interpret the visionary quality of Isaiah’s poetry. It begins with a discussion of biblical poetry and eschews formalistic definitions, showing how parallelism, like other formal devices, is a technique for generating meaning. It then considers the visionary quality of the poetry, as a divine message, and the trajectory from the vision to the book. The …
Introduction
This is an introduction to the special issue on Gil Anidjar’s book Blood , summarizing the book and the different responses to it

Gil Anidjar begins his immensely ambitious book Blood with a strange statement/question “Why I am Such a Good Christian.” I begin by examining this question for its implications for cultural hybridity, for myself as well as for Anidjar, through the lens of Anidjar’s concluding discussion of Freud’s Moses and Monotheism .

It continues with the poem's evocation and systematic subversion of literary genres, in particular the love song and the prophetic rib, or lawsuit. With the divine judgement in vs. 5-6, intertextual resonances serve to amb…
