the Genres and Formulas of Hebrew Bible: A Glossary, Volume 2

This is a comprehensive glossary of genres and formulas covering every passage in the Hebrew Bible. It has over 1,100 entries, more than 500 of which have brief bibliographies. The complete bibliography at the back includes more than 1,500 works. There is a chapter giving an overview of the Hebrew Bible (Tanak), which enables the reader to find a glossary entry connected to a particular passage. The chapter on narratives primarily uses a content-based approach (distinguishing annunciation narratives, covenant establishment narratives, festival observance narratives, and so forth) which makes it especially useful for pastors and rabbis. There are also chapters on legal genres, on wisdom genres, on Psalms and Lamentations, on lists, on prophetic speech, and more.
