This is an examination of Ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible
through the lens of Postcolonial interpretation and Empire Studies.
"Israel and Empire" introduces students to the history, literature,
and theology of the Hebrew Bible and texts of early Judaism,
enabling them to read these texts through the lens of postcolonial
interpretation. This approach should allow students to recognize
not only how cultural and socio-political forces shaped ancient
Israel and the worldviews of the early Jews but also the impact of
imperialism on modern readings of the Bible. Perdue and Niang cover
a broad sweep of history, from 1300 BCE to 72 CE, including the
late Bronze age, Egyptian imperialism, Israel's entrance into
Canaan, the Davidic-Solomonic Empire, the Assyrian Empire, the
Babylonian Empire, the Persian Empire, the Greek Empire, the
Maccabean Empire, and Roman rule. Additionally the authors show how
earlier examples of imperialism in the Ancient Near East provide a
window through which to see the forces and effects of imperialism
in modern history.
