{"product_id":"the-early-monarchy-in-israel-walter-dietrich-9781589832633","title":"The Early Monarchy in Israel: The Tenth Century B.C.E.","description":"The Hebrew narrative art achieves its highest level in the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon. But beyond that, the description of these all-too-human characters and the dramatic events of the birth of the Israelite state depicts a change of eras that became determinative for half a millennium of Israelite history. In this volume Dietrich introduces readers to the stories of the early Israelite state from a variety of perspectives: literary-critical, historical, and theological. In a concluding chapter Dietrich revisits the stories of Saul, David, and Solomon to explore what they teach about theological issues of enduring significance, what they teach about God, humanity, the state, the use of force, and the relationship between women and men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Dietrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589832639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589832633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Biblical Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 62","brand":"Walter Dietrich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124924182783,"sku":"9781589832633","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58f31207-7917-4f33-a073-b7b2f3ad63fd.jpg?v=1687439608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-early-monarchy-in-israel-walter-dietrich-9781589832633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
