Why did biblical Israel need a monarchy? This course will explore the failures of earlier systems including the Judges and Saul’s kingship, and the subsequent success of King David and his son Solomon in establishing a dynasty that united the people of Israel and created an enduring common memory for the Jewish people. The course will focus on texts from the Books of Judges, Samuel, and Kings.
Please bring an English translation or Hebrew/English edition of the Tanakh (the Jewish Bible). 8 sessions.
(Part II will be offered in Spring 2020, focusing on the split of the kingdom into Israel and Judah, the kingdoms’ subsequent monarchs and the ultimate end of both kingdoms at the hands of the Assyrians and Babylonians)
