Thanks for these and the other recommendations.  I looked up _Thinking
Biblically_ on Amazon and saw it's by Paul Ricoeur and some other
French guy I never heard of.  I never read anything by Ricoeur, but he
seems a little...French, from what I've read about him in _Semeia_ or
whatever.  Is that right?  Not that I've got anything at all against
French philosophers, not in the least!  It's just that I've read a
couple structuralist commentaries on biblical stuff and that was more
than enough for me thank you.  Theory.  Or is Ricoeur one of the good
Frenchmen?  I mean, if I buy this book it would have to go on my
shelves along with Edmund Burke and Camille Paglia, if you get my
drift.
