H. van Wijk-Bos vol. 3 U.S.A William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2020 338tr. Paperback, Illustration 22 cm A People and a Land In The Land and Its Kings biblical scholar Johanna van Wijk-Bos accompanies the reader across a large sweep of the story of Israel, from the end of King David's reign through the fall of Jerusalem approximately 400 years later. She views these memories of Israel's past, as they are woven together in Kings, from the perspective of the traumatic context of postexilic Judah. Van Wijk-Bos writes as a scholar of the Bible with deep commitments to feminism and issues of gender within patriarchal structures and ideologies. The voices and presence of women in the accounts receive special attention. As in the previous volumes of A People and a Land, van Wijk-Bos offers a close reading of the Hebrew text in translation to reacquaint readers with the path taken by Israel as the people embraced a form of monarchy, subsequently compromised their allegiance to God, and were ultimately exiled from the land.
