{"product_id":"dismembering-the-whole-cynthia-edenburg-9781628371246","title":"Dismembering the Whole: Composition and Purpose of Judges 19-21","description":"The Book of Judges ends with a bizarre narrative of sex and violence that starts with a domestic tiff and ends with the decimation of a tribe that is restored by means of abduction and rape. Cynthia Edenburg applies a fresh literary analysis, recent understandings of historical linguistics, and historical geography in her exploration of the origin of the anti-Benjamin polemic found in Judges 19-21, the growth and provenance of the book of Judges, and the shape of the Deuteronomistic History. Her study exposes how Judges 19-21 functions as political polemic reflecting not the pre-monarchic period but instead the historical realities of the settlement of Benjamin during the Babylonian and Persian period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Edenburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628371242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628371246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SBL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.98d","brand":"Cynthia Edenburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45980862316799,"sku":"9781628371246","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd2c4abd-36a7-4b97-8d83-290cdc96004d.jpg?v=1722416970","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dismembering-the-whole-cynthia-edenburg-9781628371246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
