When Zeal Will Not Turn
Narrative Form and Moral Agency in the Death of Asahel
The six verses do not supply a program for living. They train the moral imagination to recognize the moment when constancy becomes captivity, and to see that turning aside can be an expression of wisdom rather than a failure of courage.
