What would biblical narratives look like if rewritten with modern and post-modern concerns in mind, in addition to those of the contemporary Bible and literature scholars, and their contents and theology are made relevant for today's readers in non-traditional way? Here is an example, a fictive autobiography, the revisited and revised story of Rahab the prostitute (Joshua 2 and 6), who helps Israelite spies escape from Jericho and go back to Joshua, thus facilitating the eventual conquest of her city and the land by the Israelites.
