Title: A Kingdom for a Stage Condition: New Subtitle: Political and Theological Reflection in the Hebrew Bible Author: Mark W. Hamilton Format: Hardback EAN: 9783161555053 ISBN: 9783161555053 Publisher: Mohr Siebeck Genre: Philosophy & Spirituality Release Date: 05/03/2018 Description: The political rhetoric of ancient Israel took several literary, architectural, and graphic forms. Much of the relevant material concerns kingship, but other loci of authority and submission also drew significant attention. Mark W. Hamilton illustrates how these "texts" interacted with other political rhetorics, especially those of the great Mesopotamian empires. By paying close attention to the argumentation of the Israelite literature as well as their function as epideictic oratory building solidarity with hearers he reveals the complexity of Israelite intellectual activity both during and after the period of the monarchy. By doing this he shows that this body of thought lies at the heart of Western political thought even today.
