The Early Monarchy in Israel is a cogent treatment of its subject by an author with a long and solid track record of publishing in this area. While some readers of JETS may disagree with some of Dietrich's critical operating procedure, the author's high view of Scripture will be appreciated. The book's well-organized, systematic, and thorough treatment of its subject will make it a useful tool for those working with the subject of the early monarchy. Belongs to Series
The Hebrew narrative art achieves its highest level in the stories of Saul, David, andSolomon. But beyond that, the description of these all-too-human characters and thedramatic events of the birth of the Israelite state depicts a change of eras that becamedeterminative for half a millennium of Israelite history. In this volume Dietrich introducesreaders to the stories of the early Israelite state from a variety of perspectives: literarycritical,historical, and theological. After tracing how biblical and extrabiblical texts describethe period, Dietrich skillfully untangles the knotty questions related to the history of theperiod and perceptively examines the development of this literary corpus as well as the otherbiblical material that came to be associated with it. In a concluding chapter Dietrich revisitsthe stories of Saul, David, and Solomon to explore what they teach about theological issuesof enduring significance, what they teach about God, humanity, the state, the use of force,and the relationship between women and men.Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org) No library descriptions found. |
