David Remembered
Kingship and national Identity in Ancient Israel
Joseph Blenkinsopp
Eerdmans, 2013
ISBN 9780802869586
Softcover, 231 pp.
6.09 X 0.6 X 8.97 inches | 0.73 pounds
In this follow-up study to Judaism, The First Phase, Joseph Blenkinsopp traces the development of traditions about David in the collective memory of the people of Israel and the first Christians, from the extinction of the Davidic dynasty in the sixth century B.C.E. to the early common era.
David Remembered is neither a biography of David nor an exegetical study of the biblical narrative about David. Rather, it focuses on the memory of David as a powerful factor in the formation of social identity, in political activity (especially in reaction to imperial rule), and in projections of the future viewed as the restoration of a never-forgotten past.
