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.
