Subordinated King studies the conception of kingship, and its
status, powers and authority in Talmudic literature. The book deals
with the conception of kingship against the background of the
different approaches to kingship both in Biblical literature and in
the political views prevalent in the Roman Empire. In the Bible one
finds three (exclusive) approaches to kingship: rejection of the
king as a legitimate political institution - since God is the
(political) king; a version of royal theology according to which
the king is divine (or sacral); and a view that God is not a
political king yet the king has no divine or sacral dimension. The
king is flesh and blood; hence his authority and power are limited.
He is a 'subordinated king'. Subordinated King is the first book to
offer a comprehensive study of kingship in Talmudic literature and
its biblical (and contemporary) background. The book offers a fresh
conceptual framework that sheds new light on both the vast minutia
and the broad picture.
