商品簡介
A specialist in biblical narrative and theology, Gelander (emeritus, philosophy, Haifa U.) explores the range of differences and distinctions between the northern and southern tribes on the eve of their unification, as reflected in the various forms of Old Testament narrative, historiography, and to some degree poetry. He covers the man of God in his weakness, the attributes of the northern man of God, failure and crisis, style in the speech of Abraham and in the speech of Jacob, direct speech in context, the Exodus traditions, and the Zion-David traditions. Israel and Judah were not only separate political entities, he finds, but they diverged significantly in the manner of the monotheism they practiced.
