Solomon: Israel's Ironic Icon of Human Achievement (Studies on Personalities of the Old Testament)

by WalterBrueggemann (Author)

Synopsis

In this study of Solomon and his place in the larger consciousness of Israel, Walter Brueggemann considers what Old Testament narratives regarding David's heir reveal about the aspirations and ideals of the ancient Israelite people. He notes that an irony permeates the Solomon tradition and invites critique of accepted beliefs.
