| | Amazon.com: The Politics of Ancient Israel (Library of Ancient Israel): Books: Norman K. Gottwald |
 | | In traditional critical biblical scholarship, treatment of the politics of ancient Israel has consisted principally of writing the political history of Israel in a straightforward and largely unproblematic manner, drawing primarily on the Hebrew Bible, supplemented and corrected at points by archaeology and ancient Near Eastern texts. | | | In The Politics Of Ancient Israel, Norman Gottwald (Adjunct Professor of Old testament at the Pacific School of Religion and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at New York Theological Seminary) meticulously reconstructs the political environment of ancient Israel, as well as that of the larger political context of the ancient Near East. | | | Along with a scholarly and documented discussion of the matrix of monarchial development of Israel and Judah, The Politics Of Ancient Israel provides both the scholar and the non- specialist general reader with an informative survey and accounting of the problems of religion, power, and politics interwoven throughout the history of ancient Israel. |

| | Anti-Semitism |
| | America is turning against Zionism, Israel, and the Jewish people in that order and without reversal possible because God will use anti-Semitism to fulfill His promise of bringing all of the sons of Israel back to their Promised Land. | | | Israel encouraged the establishment of a Palestinian state at the Security Council meeting. | | | It is a philosophical world view and interpretation of history that creates conspiracies as a way of explaining the unfolding of historical events; it is a pessimistic and frantic outlook, characterized by historian Richard Hofstadter as "the paranoid style" of politics, which shifts responsibility from the self to sinister, omnipotent others-typically and historically the Jews. |

| | Israel Shahak on the Secrets of Judaism |
| | From Jerusalem, Israel Shahak never ceases to analyse not only the dismal politics of Israel today but the Talmud itself, and the effect of the entire rabbinical tradition on a small state that the right-wing rabbinate means to turn into a theocracy for Jews only. | | | Those religious Jews in Israel who are honest, as the majority of them undoubtedly are, are so not because of the influence of their religion and rabbis, but in spite of it. | | | By this official definition, Israel 'belongs' to persons who are defined by the Israeli authorities as 'Jewish', irrespective of where they live, and to them alone. |

| | Kolel's Parasha Study |
| | He strongly disapproved of Israel's system of party rule and was critical of coalition politics. | | | Composed in the Land of Israel, Targum Onkelos became the standard version of the Hebrew Bible that was used in Babylonian synagogues during the Talmudic era. | | | Outspoken in his views on Judaism and Israel, he aroused a great deal of debate and antagonism among religious and non-religious circles. |

| | The Polity in Biblical Israel |
| | The political experience of ancient Israel as recounted in the Bible laid the foundations of the Jewish political tradition in all its aspects. | | | The first covenant between God and Israel according to the biblical account, the covenant with Abraham, is proto-political in character, involving as it does two promises -- the establishment of the Jewish people and the allocation to them of the land of Canaan. | | | So republican was ancient Israel that even the institution of kingship, limited as it was, persisted for less than half of the biblical period (the precise length of time depending upon the way in which the biblical period is calculated). |

| | MIFTAH--U.S. Evangelicals See Opportunity in Promised Land |
| | As well as assuming a growing influence in US politics during George W. Bush's presidency, the community has begun overtaking American Jews as financial and political supporters of Israel and as a constituency militating for the Jewish state. | | | The hill in Israel where Jesus told his disciples to love their enemies as well as neighbours could soon be alive again with the sound of gospel music. | | | The prospect rattles traditional Christian churches, whose own land is under increasing pressure from settler groups and the Israeli state, and who tend to see evangelical interpretations of the Bible as selective. |

| | The Qur'an and the Land of Israel |
| | Whoever claims that Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel is something new and rooted in human politics denies divine revelation and divine prophecy as explicitly expressed in our Holy Books (the Bible and Koran). | | | They presented the negation of any Jewish rights to the Land of Israel as rooted in authentic Islam and derived from authentic Islamic religious principles. | | | The Qur'an recognizes the Land of Israel as the heritage of the Jews and it explains that, before the Last Judgment, Jews will return to dwell there. |

| | Religion and the American Founding |
| | That this God should be the God of Israel partakes of the same logic, for the God of Israel was not only understood to be the only God, but one who transcended the universe of which He was held to be Creator. | | | A citizen of ancient Israel, living under the laws that God had given to Moses, believed himself to be already living in the city of God. | | | We read it for the story of God's covenant with Israel and the origins of the Messianic promise which Christians believe was fulfilled in Jesus. |
