Envisioning Writing: Texts and Power in Early Judaism (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies, 472) Hardcover – October 1, 2026

by Donald C. Polaski (Author), Laura Quick (Series Editor), Jacqueline Vayntrub (Series Editor)
See all formats and editions
This work traces the development of Judaism as a Scriptural religion, claiming that this did not arise from discrete moments of "political" authority (e.g., Sinai, Josiah, Ezra), but was part of a complex and multifarious negotiation involving writing, literacy, orality and the socio-political power of the Persian, Greek and Roman empires.
