The theme of leadership played an important role in ancient Israel
and its discourse. It was explored time and again through memories
of proper, improper and in-between leaders and through memories of
particular institutions like monarchy, priesthood, and prophethood.
The ways in which this theme was shaped, reflected and explored
through social memory and how, in turn, those memories played a
socializing role within the community is the focus of this
collection of essays. Although the nature and limitations of
kingship, both native and foreign, is a central theme of many of
the essays, the volume includes discussions of both official and
unofficial local leadership within an empire setting, alternatives
to royal leadership like theocracy, charismatic judgeship, and
Greek-style tyrants, as well as considerations of Greek political
discourse on the best type of leadership.
