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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Johanna W.
