This volume addresses the critical question of how biblical authors engaged with and responded to the political realities and ideologies of their time. Featuring essays by leading scholars in biblical studies and ancient Near Eastern literature, it focuses on themes of power and governance in the Hebrew Bible. The contributors employ a variety of perspectives and methodologies, including detailed postcolonial approaches and specific Korean contexts, to explore how these authors constructed alternative identities amidst changing imperial powers and states. The volume also examines the contemporary relevance and implications of these biblical texts for postcolonial contexts and struggles in Korea. This work offers valuable insights for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of ancient texts and modern postcolonial issues.
