About this title

Synopsis

Applying Norman Gottwald's thesis on Israel's origins, Cereski argues that Israel was formed through a process of social revolution, inspired by the memory of runaway slaves and their worship of a God whose cult mandated radical social equality and justice.

From the Back Cover

A revised and updated edition which brings a fresh new look to an academic classic. Introduction to the Old Testament has become a favorite for those using a liberative approach to biblical studies. While covering standard issues such as literary formation of the texts and their religious themes, Ceresko goes behind the texts to uncover the social background and the vital history of competing interests reflected in the scriptures.
