Описание
Итог:This is a historical and political analysis of the early sources about David and his kingdom in the light of its broader ancient Near Eastern context. Under the headings (1) public opinion, (2) royal apologetics, and (3) imperial ideology, it attempts to trace and contextualize the development of the political and religious propaganda that undergirded David’s rule as he negotiated the difficult transition from a commoner to a royal usurper to the conquering founder of an imperial state. It ends with a brief hint at the rich and productive theological transformation and afterlife of these imperial traditions.
