Samuel and the Shaping of Tradition - Biblical Refigurations
Leuchter, Mark (Associate Professor of Religion and Director of Jewish Studies, Temple University, Philadelphia)
Leuchter explores the biblical texts revolving around the figure of Samuel, and considers how the authors utilize him as a symbol to address the cultural memories and contemporary politics of their audiences. Samuel's role as a priest, a prophet, a judge, a warrior, a lawgiver and a kingmaker are examined in light of the origins of ancient Israel.
