Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the limitations upon the power of Hebrew kings during the era of Judges and the monarchy, spanning from the settlement in Canaan to the Babylonian Exile. The author delves into the tensions between the monarchy and the unique blend of individualism, religious beliefs, and geographical features characteristic of ancient Hebrew communities. The discussion highlights the internal checks upon royal authority, such as the influence of priests and prophets, the persistence of local self-government, and the occasional flare-ups of rebellion. The book argues that despite the rise of a centralized monarchy, the power of the Hebrew kings was subject to significant constraints rooted in the social and religious fabric of the nation. These limitations shaped the nature of the monarchy, safeguarding the liberties of the people and influencing the trajectory of Hebrew society and religion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
