War in the Hebrew Bible: A Study in the Ethics of Violence de Susan Niditch

War in the Hebrew Bible: A Study in the Ethics of Violence

Autor Susan Niditch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 1995
Nidditch here deals with a wide spectrum of war ideologies in the Hebrew Bible, seeking to discover why and how these views might have made sense to biblical writers. She challenges the stereotype of the violent `Old' Testament. She argues that to understand attitudes about war in the Hebrew Bible is to understand war in general, and how human beings attempt to justify killing and violence.

Recenzii

`a unique contribution ... I find Dr. Niditch's work thought-provoking and worthy of publication ... [it] provides new ways of thinking about biblical ideologies of war and should initiate useful debate on the issues.' Theodore Hiebert, Old Testament/Hebrew Bible Harvard Divinity School
`both timely and instructive ... Susan Niditch argues her case well ...Susan Niditch has read very widely in the literature of war in general as well as within the Old Testament, and this increases the value of this study ... much to offer to all of our readersThe Expository Times'
'Susan Niditch argues her case well ... Susan Niditch has read very widely in the literature of war in general as well as within the Old Testament, and this increases the value of this study.'The Expository Times, Volume 104, September 1993
'intricately argued, scholarly and illuminating book'Lawrence Freedman, King's College, London, Manna, Spring 1994
This is a short but dense book which creatively explores many of the differing traditions of war in te Bible...this is in my opinion probably the most sophisticated book on war in the Bible which I have had the pleasure of reading. It certainly should take its place alongside T.R. Hobbs's A Time for War: A Study of War in the Old Testament (Wilmington, Delaware, 1989) as one of the two indispensable books on the subject in biblical studies...Niditch has written amost interesting book, full of excellent insights into the text and containing much stimulating and provocative discussion of difficult texts. Journal of Theological Studies Vol 46 no 1
