Politics and Compromise in the Hebrew Bible, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The contributors to this volume read compromise as a social, literary, and theological strategy in the Hebrew Bible. Compromise, they argue, is not accidental redactional residue but a conscious rhetorical tool through which biblical writers negotiated authority, community boundaries, and covenant ideals; close readings and theoretical reflections reveal how negotiations, concessions, and "rotten deals" are articulated, justified, or condemned, and how such literary representations reflect or contest identity constructions of "Israel" and of the "other."
