    Royal Apologetic in the Ancient Near East

    Royal Apologetic in the Ancient Near East (Writings from the Ancient World Supplement, Book 4) by Andrew Knapp
    English | 2015 | ISBN: 0884140768, 0884140741 | 466 pages | PDF | 6,6 MB

    A fresh exploration of apologetic material that pushes beyond form criticism

    Andrew Knapp applies modern genre theory to seven ancient Near Eastern royal apologies that served to defend the legitimacy of kings who came to power under irregular circumstances. Knapp examines texts and inscriptions related to Telipinu, Hattusili III, David, Solomon, Hazael, Esarhaddon, and Nabonidus to identify transhistorical common issues that unite each discourse.

    Features:

    Compares Hittite, Israelite, Aramean, Assyrian, and Babylonian apologies
    Examination of apologetic as a mode instead of a genre
    Charts and illustrations
