 Martin Buber, Kingship of God (New York: Humanity, 1967), pp. 77-78. Buber also highlights a misinterpretation (which originated with Julius Wellhausen) that in “the act of unity at the beginning of the twentieth chapter in no way justifies the conception that what is involved here is a ‘churchly’ unity which was projected back from the post-exilic situation in the early period” (p. 82).

 Karel Van Der Toorn, Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2009), p. 5. Van Der Toorn employs the designation “text artisans.” Van Der Toorn points out that the work of the scribes is likened to the work of “artisans” rather than “artists.” Creating original documents was not the aim of these scribes. These “co-productions” focused on “skill” and “technical mastery,” and the focus of the message of the texts is the communal disposition. Modern quests for the author prove dissatisfying until we realize that there was a scribal community behind these documents.

 Green, How Are the Mighty Fallen, p. 58. Green continues, “Morson maintains that genres are Bakhtin’s response to simplistic, reductive, pre-packaged formalist thinking” (How Are the Mighty Fallen, p. 58). Green actually argues for 1 Samuel 1-3 to be considered a משל, a “hugged.” The “hugged” she takes from the Hebrew root נגד with the “verbal possibilities of telling, making known” coupled with the Hebrew noun נגד, which she notes is usually translated “one designated for leadership” (How Are the Mighty Fallen, p. 54).
