Recenzje

In Search of Jonathan is a rare example of a book devoted to Jonathan in his own right. This engaging and meticulously argued study draws upon the way Jonathan is portrayed in a range of modern literary works in order to fashion a cohesive character out of the fractured mosaic of the biblical texts. Tiemeyer's Jonathan emerges from the shadows cast by Saul and David as a psychologically coherent yet complex and elusive figure, a 'multifaceted literary character who combines light and darkness', a tragic hero who compels our attention
