Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy
750-500 BCE
By David Aberbach
Published November 11th 2011 by Routledge – 144 pages
Description
Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is a radically new interpretation of prophetic poetry. Using more than thirty new translations from the Hebrew Bible, it shows that this poetry is inseparable from imperialism, that each of the three major waves of biblical prophecy which have survived in the Old Testament occurred in response to simultaneous waves of imperialist conquest.
Reviews
