Description

8vo, br. ed. 192pp. This is a short but dense book which creatively explores many of the differing traditions of war in te Bible.this is in my opinion probably the most sophisticated book on war in the Bible which I have had the pleasure of reading. It certainly should take its place alongside T.R. Hobbs's A Time for War: A Study of War in the Old Testament (Wilmington, Delaware, 1989) as one of the two indispensable books on the subject in biblical studies.Niditch has written amost interesting book, full of excellent insights into the text and containing much stimulating and provocative discussion of difficult texts.
