An exciting, kaleidoscopic presentation of biblical prophecy showing the inextricability of the poetry from the political and military upheavals which occurred at the same time in the ancient Near East.
Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is a radically new interpretation of prophetic poetry. Using more than thirty new translations from the Hebrew Bible, it shows that this poetry is inseparable from imperialism, that each of the three major waves of biblical prophecy which have survived in the Old Testament occurred in response to simultaneous waves of imperialist conquest.
