Soundings in Kings - Perspectives and Methods in Contemporary Scholarship

Informationen zum Autor Klaus-Peter Adam is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Klappentext In Soundings in Kings, international scholars examine 1 and 2 Kings as an independent work, identifying new methods and models for envisioning the social location of the authors (or redactors) of Kings, the nature of the intended audience or audiences, and the political and rhetorical implications of its construction. Soundings in Kings demonstrates the role of Kings as a cornerstone work within the Hebrew Bible, a crossroads between prophecy, poetry, wisdom, ancestral and national narrative, and ritual instruction.
