Produktbeschreibung
[Intercessory Prayer for the Government. Negotiations for Power and Affiliation under Babylonian, Persian and Hellenistic Rule]
The book examines texts concerning intercessory prayer for governments, beginning with the end of the local monarchy in Judah. Therefore, prayers of intercession focus on the rulers of the Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenistic empires. Through these intercessions, Judean communities position themselves in relation to the ruling powers, negotiating their place within the imperial structures. At the same time, they appeal to a local deity whose significance is limited from an imperial perspective. The book explores how Judean communities reinforce or challenge existing power structures through intercessory prayer, how they shape their political self-understanding and how they convey various conceptions of rulership.
