Holiness and Society
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-75161-0 (ISBN)
By adopting a sociological approach, Ronen Shovel interprets the Bible as a reflection of perspectives and ideologies, emphasizing the intricate dynamics between rulers and subjects, balancing justice, and power within societies. A key focus is the examination of holiness as a distinct political category, influencing institutions, ethics, justice, and even the use of force. This perspective challenges traditional religious scholarship, merging sociology with the concept of holiness.
Holiness and Society enriches political philosophy, religious studies, and sociology, broadening their boundaries and offering fresh perspectives, serving as a bridge between antiquity and modernity, providing valuable insights into contemporary political thought.
Ronen Shoval is associate research scholar at Princeton University and holds a PhD from the Sorbonne - Paris X Nanterre. He is the author and translator of several books and numerous articles in English, French, and Hebrew.
