This book explores, by way of narrative analysis, the story of Jehu's revolt in 2 Kings 9 and 10, and the tensions and ambiguities surrounding the evaluation of Jehu that it contains. In the narrative, the Deuteronomist writes in many voices: the prophet(s), the Lord, the narrator, even Jehu himself. The tension within the Jehu narrative arises in the interaction of the various voices, and careful study of these narrative voices reveals two primary criteria for evaluating Jehu: (1) faithful observance of correct Deuteronomistic worship, that is, true Yahwistic worship in the Jerusalem Temple; and (2) faithful obedience to the prophetic word. Each criterion is expressed in the narrative and, as a means of finally resolving the ambiguity of the evaluative voices, the narrative presents the criterion of worship in supersession over the criterion of the prophetic word. The narrative analysis shows how the Jehu narrative connects linguistically, thematically, and analogically to the larger Deuteronomistic History and provides rubrics under which a Deuteronomistic theology of kingly legitimation can be examined. The theology that arises from the Jehu narrative in respect of kingly legitimation, traced through the criteria of proper worship and the prophetic word, at times adds unique emphases to the theology of kingly legitimation presented in the history. At other times, it stands seamlessly with the theology of the larger history. At all times, the theology of worship and word shows the Jehu narrative ultimately cannot be read successfully or fully in isolation from the surrounding text and the theology presented there.
The books of 1 and 2 Kings cover the history of Israel from the last days of the united kingdom under David to the eventual fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Within these books, the deuteronomic code - 'doing what is right in the Lord's sight' - provides a framework by which monarchic history is measured. In the kings' cultic failures lies the apostasy of the nation and its eventual exile. This apostasy centres on Israel's commitment to worship YHWH exclusively, and to worship according to deuteronomistic norms within the Jerusalem temple as the locus of YHWH's covenant presence. To safeguard the kings' commitments, YHWH's prophets loom large in 1 and 2 Kings: they herald YHWH's purposes, warn of his judgment for apostasy and woo his people back to the full experience of covenant life. Lissa M. Wray Beal's valuable commentary examines the successes and failures of monarchy in the divided kingdoms. It works with the final form of the biblical text and pursues historiographical, narrative and theological questions, including the relation of each chapter's themes to biblical theology. While it focuses on theological and narrative concerns, the commentary gives due attention to complex historical issues. It seeks to provide a nuanced reading that is faithful to the text's message.
We are thrilled to introduce Issue 3, Unraveled Intimacies.Journey into four exquisite collections of nonfiction by Paula Gillison, Lisa Loving, Mary Jo McLaughlin, and Sema Wray, that weave in and out of the vulnerabilities, closeness, and unraveling of myriad states of intimacy.In Paula Gillison's All the Boys, we confront issues of sexual violence, abandonment, racism, and the tragic death of a beloved child. Between the heaux and the unholy love, the matriarchal ancestry and the spirits, there's an ethereal survival quality that weaves together a life that resembles magical realism. The dreamkeepers usher you in; the holy ushers you out. This unflinching exploration of what we lose and what we gain through daring to love teaches us how to love the self and others with a mature abiding love, a rich garden of love..."We tilled the earth together until our soil was fruitful and ripe." Lisa Loving's A Map on the Heart like a Scar from a Knife takes us deep within the many rooms of her "rotten-fruit bruised heart" into the lush, dreamlike sequences of travel from Atlanta, GA to Winston-Salem, NC. The landscapes take us through emotionally absent parents and chain-smoking Great Aunt Dottie, horrific encounters with the neighborhood bully Bubba, scuffles with tough girl Shelly, and love of good old dead cousin Larry until, at last, finding an identity and escape through books and music. Loving's prose feels compulsively readable, begging you to return to taste its sheer beauty again and again.In The Art of Leaving, Mary Jo McLaughlin truly shows "a triumph of hope over experience," as expressed in her first vignette, Brides, when we first learn of her second wedding. With sultry, lush southern devastation, McLaughlin brings us on a search for belonging through mother-loss, mental illness, father estrangement, and finally ceremony when at last the disparate chambers of the heart are knitted back together. McLaughlin's writing reads like fine silk against bare skin in the moment before it is violently ripped away.In Sema Wray's Unaffiliated, we follow a young woman as she enters the church, not for the love of Jesus, but for the love of a man. Wray's wry depictions of religion, hell, the devil and becoming equally yoked to her first husband make the reader gasp with hilarity and horror. As she finds her way out of, first, her parent's home, and then her strangulating marriage, she finally finds freedom with men and God, and we cheer for her with the true thrill of love and admiration. Wray's observations of the institutions of marriage and the church are understated, dead on, and utterly satisfying.We hope you will love these four distinct explorations of unraveled intimacy as much as we did.
