This volume brings together disparate views about biblical texts in
the books of Samuel, Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah and examines
their influence in the life of contemporary communities,
demonstrating how today's environments and disorders help readers
to acquire new insights into such texts. The contributing scholars
hail from different continents - from East Asia to the United
States to Europe to South Africa and Israel - and count themselves
as members of various Jewish and Christian traditions or secularist
ways of life. But, in spite of their differences in location and
community membership, and perhaps in the spirit of the times (2020
and its global discontents), they share preoccupations with
questions of ethics in politics and life, 'proper' death, violence
and social exclusion or inclusion. This volume offers readers a
better understanding of how politics and faith can be melded, both
in ancient and contemporary contexts, to serve the interests of
certain classes and societies, often at the expense of others.
