This is Burnett's second book. Pretty much all "historical" approaches to the Bible are diachronic, which fundamentally hobbles any conclusions which are drawn with respect to gaining insight into a synchronic God. If prophecy is a real thing, and if God knows the end from the beginning, then diachronic inquiry is not just flawed but hollow. Any book that takes a synchronic view of Scripture is worth a look.
Don't let the price keep you from supporting this book. It is part of the Bloomsbury Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies (LBH/OTS) series which has been published by FL for decades. Newer volumes are usually offered in series updates, and they can picked up at a substantial discount in those bundles.
