The Sacred Economy of Ancient Israel offers a new reconstruction of
the economic context of the Bible and of ancient Israel. It argues
that the key to ancient economies is with those who worked on the
land rather than in intermittent and relatively weak kingdoms and
empires. Drawing on sophisticated economic theory (especially the
RA (c)gulation School) and textual and archaeological resources,
Roland Boer makes it clear that economic aEUROoecrisisaEURO was the
norm and that economics is always socially determined. He examines
three economic layers: the building blocks (five institutional
forms), periods of relative stability (three regimes), and the
overarching mode of production. Ultimately, the most resilient of
all the regimes was subsistence survival, for which the regular
collapse of kingdoms and empires was a blessing rather than a
curse. Students will come away with a clear understanding of the
dynamics of the economy of ancient Israel. Boer's volume should
become a new benchmark for future studies.
