Formula criticism and the poetry of the Old Testament

"Since this study has tow objectives, it may be divided into two parts. First, it aims at explaining the origins of what we call formula criticism. The history of the criticism will be traced, mentioning as we go, the scholars who have contributed most to our own understanding ... Second, this study seeks to evaluate theories of formula criticism on the basis of the results of our own studies. Many longstanding and traditional questions will be posed, and the books of Isaiah, Job, Lamentations, and Ruth will be called upon to assist in the formation of the respective answers. The aim of the whole, therefore, is to set formula criticism in proper perspective, and to show how it may assist the scholar as a useful tool in textual research."--Introduction.
