{"product_id":"transforming-authority-no-contributor-9783110646313","title":"Transforming Authority: Concepts of Leadership in Prophetic and Chronistic Literature","description":"Human leadership is a multifaceted topic in the Hebrew Bible from a synchronic as well as diachronic perspective. A large range of distributions emerges from the successive sharpening or modification of different aspects of leadership. While some of them are combined to a complex figuration of leadership, others remain reserved for certain individuals. Furthermore, it can be considered a consensus within scholarly debate, that concepts of leadership have a certain connection to the history of ancient Israel which is, though, hard to ascertain. Following a previous volume that focused on the Pentateuch and the Former Prophets (BZAW 507), this volume deals with different concepts of leadership in selected Prophetic (Hag\/Zech; Jer) and Chronistic literature Ezr\/Neh; Chr). They are examined in a literary, (religious-\/tradition-) historical and theological perspective. Special emphasis is given to phenomena of transforming authority and leadership claims in exilic\/post-exilic times. Hence, the volume contributes to biblical theology and sheds new light on the redaction\/reception history of the texts. Not least, it provides valuable insights into the history of religious and\/or political \"authorities\" in Israel and Early Judaism(s).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharina Pyschny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110646315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110646313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Katharina Pyschny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979090919679,"sku":"9783110646313","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a2a17e3-066e-40e7-abc3-544f3f84f67d.jpg?v=1683244110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-authority-no-contributor-9783110646313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
