A large range of distributions emerges from the successive sharpening or modification of different aspects of leadership. While some of them are combined to a complex figuration of leadership, others remain reserved for certain individuals. Furthermore, it can be considered a consensus within scholarly debate, that concepts of leadership have a certain connection to the history of ancient Israel which is, though, hard to ascertain. Following a previous volume that focused on the Pentateuch and the Former Prophets (BZAW 507), this volume deals with different concepts of leadership in selected Prophetic (Hag\/Zech; Jer) and Chronistic literature Ezr\/Neh; Chr). They are examined in a literary, (religious-\/tradition-) historical and theological perspective. Special emphasis is given to phenomena of transforming authority and leadership claims in exilic\/post-exilic times. Hence, the volume contributes to biblical theology and sheds new light on the redaction\/reception history of the texts. Not least, it provides valuable insights into the history of religious and\/or political “authorities” in Israel and Early Judaism(s).","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864349180247,"sku":"9783111256009","price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783111256009.jpg?v=1759921944","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/transforming-authority-concepts-of-leadership-in-prophetic-and-chronistic-literature-9783111256009","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
