RLST 088 PO - Prophets, Kings, and Politics in the Hebrew Bible

This course will focus upon the narrative portrayal of the Israelite monarchy and its critics in the Hebrew Bible. We will ask how these narratives comment on the development, institutionalization and critique of political formations and social relations in the time of their writing. The course will address biblical texts in dialogue with modern political thought, psychoanalysis, feminism, and social psychology. (HRT II, MES)
