Description

Subordinated King examines the conception of kingship, its status, powers and authority as presented in Talmudic literature, offering a comprehensive analysis grounded in both Biblical tradition and Roman imperial political philosophy. The work explores three distinct Biblical approaches to kingship: outright rejection of monarchy as a legitimate institution since God holds supreme political authority; royal theology positioning the king as divine or sacral; and alternative views of God's non-political kingship. Published by Bloomsbury as part of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Library of Judaic Studies series, this scholarly text provides essential insight into how classical Jewish thinkers conceptualized royal power and its theological implications within their cultural and historical context.

Key Features

The book explores kingship conceptions across Talmudic literature and their relationship to both Biblical and Roman political frameworks.

Disempowered King examines three exclusive Biblical approaches to understanding the legitimacy and nature of royal authority and divine governance.

Part of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Library of Judaic Studies series published by Bloomsbury, offering scholarly depth on Jewish political theology.

The work addresses how classical Jewish literature positioned royal power against the backdrop of Mediterranean empire and ancient religious tradition.
