Book Synopsis Portrait of the Kings by : Alison L. Joseph
Download or read book Portrait of the Kings written by Alison L. Joseph and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the scholarship on the book of Kings has focused on questions of the historicity of the events described. Alison L. Joseph turns her attention instead to the literary characterization of Israel’s kings. By examining the narrative techniques used in the Deuteronomistic History to portray Israel’s kings, Joseph shows that the Deuteronomist in the days of the Josianic Reform constructed David as a model of adherence to the covenant, and Jeroboam, conversely, as the ideal opposite of David. The redactor further characterized other kings along one or the other of these two models. The resulting narrative functions didactically, as if instructing kings and the people of Judah regarding the consequences of disobedience. Attention to characterization through prototype also allows Joseph to identify differences between pre-exilic and exilic redactions in the Deuteronomistic History, bolstering and also revising the view advanced by Frank Moore Cross. The result is a deepened understanding of the worldview and theology of the Deuteronomistic historians.

Book Synopsis The Early Prophets: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings by :
Download or read book The Early Prophets: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings written by and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of ancient Israel, from the arrival in Canaan to the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah and the Babylonian exile some six centuries later, here is the highly anticipated second volume in Everett Fox’s landmark translation of the Hebrew Bible. The personalities who appear in the pages of The Early Prophets, and the political and moral dilemmas their stories illuminate, are part of the living consciousness of the Western world. From Joshua and the tumbling walls of Jericho to Samson and Delilah, the prophet Samuel and the tragic King Saul, David and Goliath, Bathsheba and Absalom, King Solomon’s temple, Elijah and the chariot of fire, Ahab and Jezebel—the stories of these men and women are deeply etched into Western culture because they beautifully encapsulate the human experience. The four books that comprise The Early Prophets look at tribal rivalries, dramatic changes in leadership, and the intrusions of neighboring empires through the prism of the divine-human relationship. Over the centuries, the faithful have read these narratives as demonstrations of the perils of disobeying God’s will, and time and again Jews in exile found that the stories spoke to their own situations of cultural assimilation, destruction, and the reformulation of identity. They have had an equally indelible impact on generations of Christians, who have seen in many of the narratives foreshadowings of the life and death of Jesus, as well as models for their own lives and the careers of their leaders. But beyond its importance as a foundational religious document, The Early Prophets is a great work of literature, a powerful and distinctive narrative of the past that seeks meaning in the midst of national catastrophe. Accompanied by illuminating commentary, notes, and maps, Everett Fox’s masterly translation of the Hebrew original re-creates the echoes, allusions, alliterations, and wordplays that rhetorically underscore its meaning and are intrinsic to a timeless text meant to be both studied and read aloud.

Book Synopsis THE KINGS OF JUDAH by : Edward Dd. Andrews
Download or read book THE KINGS OF JUDAH written by Edward Dd. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-01-28 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Kings of Judah: A Historical Fiction Journey Through the Bible's Royal Lineage" is an immersive and vivid account that brings to life the reigns of the kings and one queen of ancient Judah. This book, while fictionalized, is firmly rooted in Scripture and guided by literal biblical chronology, offering readers an engaging exploration of a pivotal era in biblical history. Spanning from the reign of Rehoboam to the final days of Zedekiah, each chapter delves into the complexities and challenges faced by these monarchs. The accounts of Rehoboam’s divided kingdom, Asa’s zeal for righteousness, Jehoshaphat's alliances and challenges, Jehoram's troubled rule, and Ahaziah's fateful reign set the stage for the dramatic narrative that unfolds. The book vividly portrays the ambitious rise and tragic downfall of Queen Athaliah, the restoration efforts of King Joash, and the tumultuous reigns of Amaziah and Uzziah. It navigates through the righteous paths of Jotham and Hezekiah, juxtaposed against the apostasy and turmoil under Ahaz, Manasseh, and Amon. The narrative reaches a crescendo with Josiah’s reforms, bringing a sense of hope and renewal, only to be followed by the brief, tumultuous reign of Jehoahaz and the complex rule of Jehoiakim. The story of Jehoiachin offers a glimpse into the last glimmers of a fallen dynasty, while Zedekiah’s reign ends with the heartbreaking siege and fall of Jerusalem. Richly detailed and character-driven, this book not only portrays the historical events but also delves into the personal struggles, political intrigues, and spiritual journeys of these rulers. Each chapter is an intricately woven tapestry that blends historical facts with imaginative storytelling, offering insights into the lives of these kings and the queen who shaped the destiny of Judah. Accompanied by stunning, detailed images that bring each account to life, "The Kings of Judah" is more than just a historical narrative; it's a journey through a significant period of biblical history. It's a testament to faith, power, downfall, and redemption—a must-read for anyone fascinated by the rich history of the Bible's royal lineage.

Download or read book Kings Mountain written by Stacy Trevenon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising 2,000 feet above the rural San Mateo County countryside, Kings Mountain rests atop the redwood-ribbed backbone of the California Coastal Mountain Range. Despite inhospitable terrain, its forests lured Spanish padres who envisioned a chain of missions along the California coast. The community grew as its stately Sequoia sempervirens toppled before the influx of sawmills that sprang up in the 1850s. Named for early entrepreneurs Frank and Honora King, the mountain's story features rough-and-tumble sawyers, genteel dairy farmers, ghost towns, subdivisions, summer cabins, schools, and storied hermits. The celebrated annual art fair began in 1963 to raise funds for fire protection and grew into a nationally respected event that draws thousands.
