BROOKS, SIMCHA SHALOM

Saul and the Monarchy: A New Look (Society for Old Testament Study Monographs). ISBN 9780754652045

Hampshire, Ashgate Publishing, 2005. XVI, 222 pp. Scratch on dustjacket, else as new. Hardcover with dustjacket. Old Testament - Bible. The negative biblical presentation of King Saul of Israel has been biased in favour of David at the expense of Saul. This book presents a more positive picture and more realistic view of the culture of the period extending from Saul to the schism. Simcha Shalom Brooks explores a number of controversial issues such as the historicity of the biblical text on which so many modern scholars are sharply divided; that David was ambitious and coveted Saul's throne, and even though David became king, the people continued to support the house of Saul. This book makes a valuable contribution to the current biblical debate as to the existence of ancient Israel in the Iron Age 1 Period. Simcha Shalom Brooks draws on literary, historical and archaeological material to present a balanced view of the period. ISBN: 9780754652045

Carrol, Robert P.

When Prophecy Failed : Reactions and Responses to Failure in the Old Testament Prophetic Traditions

London, SCM Press, 1979. 250 pp., Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Its main concern is to analyse the predicitons made by the Old testament prophets and the responses of later generations when these predictions were not realized. It is based on careful study of a number of Texts, but also makes use of the findings of social opsychology in relation to change in attitude and expectation. The theory used is that of 'cpgmotove dissonance', propounded by a professor of psychology, Leon Festinger, in a classic study of a modern group which predicted the destruction of the world and lived to see tha failure of that prediction. Since disappointed expectations of this kind go back to the earliest days of Christianiry and have their roots in the Israelite prophetic traditions, the appropriateness of the method is clear and it succeeds in adding a new dimension to our understanding of the prophets. Since Dr. carrol not only offers a full and lucid account of the theory of cognitive dissonance but also provides a clear account of current views of Israelite prophets and prophecy, his book is one of the most approachable works of OT schoalrship yet published. it will be of interest to both social psychologists and theologians: and no serious student of the Old Testament can afford not to read it.
