Description of
Biblical Figures in Israel's Colonial Political Theology (New Approaches to Religion and Power)
3031038215 pdf This book reveals and counteracts the misuse of biblical texts and figures in political theology, in an attempt to decolonialize the reading of the Old Testament. In the framework of Critical Theory, the book questions readings that inform the State of Israel's military apparatus. It embraces Martin Bubers pacifist vision and Edward Saids perspective on Orientalism, influenced by critical authors such as Amnon Raz Krakotzkin, Ilan Papp, Shlomo Sand, Idith Zertal, and Enrique Dussels.
