Joanna G. Kline discusses her book "Narrative Analogy in the David Story. Parallels between Genesis 25–50 and 1 Samuel 16–1 Kings 2" on the New Books Network podcast.

In the episode, she explains how narrative analogy functions within the Hebrew Bible, highlighting textual and thematic parallels between the patriarchal narratives in Genesis and the story of David. These analogies shed light on key issues such as divine election, moral responsibility, and family conflict and reconciliation.
The conversation offers an accessible overview of the book’s aims, methodology, and major insights, and provides a valuable introduction to narrative approaches in biblical studies.
