Download YHWH is King Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Amidst various methodologies for the comparative study of the Hebrew Bible, at times the opportunity arises to improve on a method recently introduced into the field. In YHWH is King, Flynn uses the anthropological method of cultural translation to study diachronic change in YHWH’s kingship. Here, such change is compared to a similar Babylonian development to Marduk’s kingship. Based on that comparison and informed by cultural translation, Flynn discovers that Judahite scribes suppressed the earlier YHWH warrior king and promoted a creator/universal king in order to combat the increasing threat of Neo-Assyrian imperialism. Flynn thus opens the possibility, that Judahite scribes engaged in a cultural translation of Marduk to YHWH, in order to respond to the mounting Neo-Assyrian presence.

Download Saul, Benjamin, and the Emergence of Monarchy in Israel Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Ponder questions of the united monarchy under Saul and David in light of current historical and archaeological evidence Reconstructing the emergence of the Israelite monarchy involves interpreting historical research, approaching questions of ancient state formation, synthesizing archaeological research from sites in the southern Levant, and reexamining the biblical traditions of the early monarchy embedded in the books of Samuel and Kings. Integrating these approaches allows for a nuanced and differentiated picture of one of the most crucial periods in the history of ancient Israel. Rather than attempting to harmonize archaeological data and biblical texts or to supplement the respective approach by integrating only a portion of data stemming from the other, both perspectives come into their own in this volume presenting the results of an interdisciplinary Tübingen–Tel Aviv Research Colloquium. Features: Essays on Israel's monarchy by experts in biblical archaeology and biblical studies Methods for integrating archaeology and biblical traditions in reconstructing ancient Israel's history New research on the sociopolitical process of state formation in Israel and Judah

Download Kingship in Early Israel Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Despite the complexity of the book of Samuel, the current explanation for the tensions in regards to kingship (due to conflicting early/late pro/anti-monarchical sources) is unsatisfactory. That a number of interpretations start from this binary choice leads to an oversimplification of the complex views surrounding the ideology of kingship within the Hebrew Bible as a whole, as well as within the book of Samuel. It is the view of the author that the tensions within the text are not the result of conflicting early/late sources, but rather a witness to the formative period of Israelite royal ideology. The thesis of this study is that the book of Samuel preserves a historic reality behind the integration of the office of kingship into ancient Israel, and that this integration of kingship conflicted with Yahwistic theology until the royal ideology of early Israel reached a palatable form within that theological framework. For this reason, this study seeks to understand kingship within the book of Samuel through the lens of royal ideology and the way in which it interacted with Yahwistic theology. Given the position of this dissertation that royal ideology within the book of Samuel did not arise in isolation, a survey was conducted of those texts which might be considered as the “prolegomena to kingship” within the book of Samuel. In addition to showing the high degree of competence of the Biblical authors to represent complex imagery surrounding kingship in their own culture as well as those around them, this survey also showed that a consistent narrative thread that runs through a majority of these texts is that the role of Yahweh as Divine Warrior is foundational to His kingship within early Israel. Several texts thought to have early dates of composition that would predate the institution of the monarchy or coincide with its beginnings (Exod 15, 1 Sam 4-6, 2 Sam 22, etc.) highlight this aspect of Yahweh. As a result, we are able to understand the rejection of Yahweh in 1 Sam 8 not along simple pro- or anti-monarchical grounds as critical scholarship traditionally has, but as an ideological conflict arising during the formative period of the monarchy. We therefore see the authorial intent of the author/authors of the book of Samuel to highlight this tension during the reigns of Saul and David, all the while articulating an ideology of human kingship that would ultimately find acceptance in the subordination to Yahweh as Divine Warrior. This form of kingship perhaps reaches its pinnacle of expression in the ideology portrayed in the song of deliverance by David in 2 Sam 22, as well as the Davidic covenant made in 2 Sam 7.

Download The Early Monarchy in Israel Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Hebrew narrative art achieves its highest level in the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon. But beyond that, the description of these all-too-human characters and the dramatic events of the birth of the Israelite state depicts a change of eras that became determinative for half a millennium of Israelite history. In this volume Dietrich introduces readers to the stories of the early Israelite state from a variety of perspectives: literary-critical, historical, and theological. After tracing how biblical and extrabiblical texts describe the period, Dietrich skillfully untangles the knotty questions related to the history of the period and perceptively examines the development of this literary corpus as well as the other biblical material that came to be associated with it. In a concluding chapter Dietrich revisits the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon to explore what they teach about theological issues of enduring significance, what they teach about God, humanity, the state, the use of force, and the relationship between women and men.

Download David Remembered Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Examines the David theme in the collective mind of ancient Israel and the early church In this follow-up study to Judaism, The First Phase, Joseph Blenkinsopp traces the development of traditions about David in the collective memory of the people of Israel and the first Christians, from the extinction of the Davidic dynasty in the sixth century B.C.E. to the early common era. David Remembered is neither a biography of David nor an exegetical study of the biblical narrative about David. Rather, it focuses on the memory of David as a powerful factor in the formation of social identity, in political activity (especially in reaction to imperial rule), and in projections of the future viewed as the restoration of a never-forgotten past.
