  Even before biblical canon became fixed, writers have reworked its stories. The author of Joshua takes the haphazard settlement of Israel recorded in Book of Judges and retells it as an orderly military conquest. This book considers viability of the vocabularies of literary, midrashic, and translation theory for speaking about retelling.
