About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2002. first edition. hardcover. Book VG+: clean, square, tight, unmarked/DJ VG+: clean, unclipped. 8vo 575pp. from front flap: ". . . Jonathan Goldstein turns to the religious literature of these ancient peoples to discover how they reconciled their beliefs with the realities of history. In a magnificent blend of several academic disciplines (literary criticism, political theory, biblical and classical history), he compares and contrasts the responses of different eras and nations--fro the Israelites, Babylonians, and Egyptians to the Zoroastrians, Iranians, and Persians under Alexander the Great. Goldstein's close readings of literature written following such devastating events as the fall of the Israelites to the Assyrians and the Babylonians demonstrate that theology, far from being a static and unchanging set of beliefs, evolves with the course of history." #02469.
