Political Power and Ideology in Early Judaism (2014 Xeravits), edited volume
Political Power and Ideology in Early Judaism (2014) is a volume edited by Géza G. Xeravits.
Abstract
Selected papers delivered at the Eighth International Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books, held at the Sapientia College of Theology (Budapest), Hungary, 18-20 May, 2011.
"Jewish authors in Antiquity constantly reflected on various challenges from contemporary political power. Either they promoted the ruling ideology, or opposed the politics of current Jewish or gentile Leaders. They often interacted with issues of political power and ideology from a religious perspective. The essays in this special issue – selected from the papers delivered at the 8th International Conference on the Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature, Budapest (2011) – explore various aspects of this interaction. They cover topics from the prophetic literature to the late first century CE; from issues emerging in the Land of Israel to those of the Diaspora."--Publisher description.
