500    Companion vol. to the author's Toward a grammar of 
       biblical poetics, 1992. 
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 458-459) and 
       index. 
520    In The Names of God, as in his previous study, Toward a 
       Grammar of Biblical Poetics (OUP, 1992), Herbert Brichto 
       continues to argue against the atomistic readings of the 
       Hebrew Bible by the currently dominant schools of Biblical
       scholarship. He maintains, that despite the repetitions 
       and self contradictions found in the Five Books of Moses, 
       the Pentateuch possesses an aesthetic and ideological 
       wholeness. Its harmonious blend of stories and structures 
       inform one another as they give shape and meaning to the 
       relationship and expectations between a benevolent God and
       recalcitrant humankind. In particular, Bichto focuses his 
       "poetic" reading on the Book of Genesis. He uses the 
       methods of contemporary literary criticism to examine one 
       of the greatest inconsistencies within Genesis, the 
       alternating use of Yahweh (the Lord) and Elohim (God) as 
       names for the Deity. Often cited as the proof of multiple 
       authorship, Brichto shows, instead, that this 
       "inconsistency" serves as a device for a single author, 
       using the specific name that is appropriate to each 
       specific story.; Brichto then proceeds to overturn other 
       multiple-author proofs, including variations in 
       genealogies, eponyms, and chronologies. He shows that 
       their variety, ingenuity, and imaginative whimsy serve a 
       vital poetic function in the structure of the text as a 
       whole. Finding a unity in this diversity of genres, styles,
       and devices, Brichto overturns many of the assumptions of 
       current scholarship as he solidifies his thesis of single 
       authorship.
