Stephen C. Russell is Assistant Professor of Ancient History at John Jay College, CUNY.
Russell's subtle exegesis puts Biblical royal rhetoric in its original Israelite context. Well worth reading. --Baruch Halpern, Covenant Foundation Professor of Jewish Studies, Professor of Religion and Linguistics, University of Georgia This book's focus on 'spatial politics' in the royal projection of power is a fresh and compelling contribution to biblical scholarship. Russell shows facility in a wide array of biblical and Near Eastern texts and in recent theoretical work on spatiality. His case studies - about royal manipulation of space by David, Absalom, Jehu, and Hezekiah - provide a model of how to think about politics, kingship, and literary representation in the Hebrew Bible. --Ronald Hendel, Norma and Sam Dabby Professor of Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies, University of California, Berkeley In this most interesting study Russell offers new insights into the question of royal power in ancient Israel and Judah. Using the methods of space studies he offers a fascinating description of royal production of space in Iron Age Judah and Israel. A must read for everybody interested in the question of kingship in the Bible and the Ancient Near East. --Thomas Romer, Professor at the College de France, Paris and the University of Lausanne, Switzerland
