What we know of Jezebel, queen of Israel, seems pure malevolence. What we know is what ancient writers, in their attempt to shape a theological history, considered important. More than just an intriguing story, Jezebel: Portraits of a Queen provides insight into a character used (and portrayed) by biblical writers as a negative example. Two portraits of Jezebel are created: that of Jezebel the story character, taken from narrative criticism, and Jezebel the queen, drawn from a sociological study. From two combined portraits, the reader can begin to understand the ancient writers' worldviews, theologies, values, and loyalties. Jezebel's story gives readers a new perspective with which they may approach all biblical texts.\nThe focuses on social organization and monarchy will help students study the text within a framework of biblical society.\nChapters are \"Method Overview: Narrative Method with a Focus on Rhetoric,\" \"Narrative Method Applied: A Portrait of a Character,\" \"Method Overview: Sociological Criticism with a Focus on Ancient Monarchy,\" \"Sociological Method Applied: A Portrait of a Queen\" and \"The Methods Interfaced: The Portraits of Compared.\"\nThe Reverend Dr. Patricia Dutcher-Walls, PhD, is Associate Professor of Hebrew Scripture and Old Testament at Knox College, at the University of Toronto, as well as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in Canada.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 081465150X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.081465150X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Green, Barbara|Dutcher-Walls, Patricia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
