With the growing proliferation of literature concerning the social
world of the Hebrew Bible, scholars continue to face the challenge
of a proper understanding of ancient Israel s economies.
"Portrayals of Economic Exchange in the Book of Kings" is the first
monographic study to use an anthropological approach to examine the
nature of the economic life behind the biblical text. Through Karl
Polanyi s paradigm of exchange as a methodological control, this
book synthesizes Semitic philology with related fields of Levantine
archaeology and modern ethnography. With this interdisciplinary
frame, Nam articulates a social analysis of economic exchange, and
stimulates new understandings of the biblical world.
