Human leadership is a multifaceted topic in the Hebrew Bible from a
synchronic as well as diachronic perspective. 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).
