| Description: |
Old Testament texts frequently offer a theological view of history. This is very evident in the "Books of Chronicles" and in the final section of "Ben Sira". This book aims to recreate a national identity centered on temple piety. It also includes chapters that consider the portrayal of Israelite kings like David, Hezekiah, and Josiah. |
| Synopsis: |
Old Testament texts frequently offer a theological view of history. This is very evident in the "Books of Chronicles" and in the final section of "Ben Sira" ("Ecclesiasticus"). Today there is renewed interest in both these works as significant theological and cultural Jewish documents from the centuries before Jesus. Both "Chronicles" and "Ben Sira" aim to recreate a national identity centered on temple piety. Some chapters in this volume consider the portrayal of Israelite kings like David, Hezekiah, and Josiah, while others deal with prophets like Samuel and Elijah. |
