The Books Of Samuel : Stories -- History -- Reception History  Cover Image Book Book

The Books Of Samuel : Stories -- History -- Reception History / edited by Walter Dietrich in cooperation with Cynthia Edenburg and Philippe Hugo.

Dietrich, Walter, (editor:).

Summary:

The Books of Samuel are an important source for the history of ancient Israel and a treasure not only of Biblical literature, but of world literature. They deal with the first kings of Israel and the history of the 10th century BCE in Palestine, and they narrate of this time in an outstandingly artful way. In addition they set standards in the Biblical Jewish and Christian system of values, concerning the relationship between men and God, nation and people, power and law, war and peace, man and woman. The Books of Samuel have left their impact upon the arts over the centuries so that their reception history is exceptionally rich. Both early interpreters and modern scholars have discussed nearly every aspect of them. This volume contains contributions of leading scholars in the field as well as those of a new generation of exegetes
