A study of change during the period of the judges

A study of change during the period of the Judges, including: (a) Biblical historiography and method; (b) An analysis of the Biblical text itself. This is a detailed study of tensions involved in the Israelite change from Confederacy to Monarchy as reflected in the Biblical text. The texts used are the Booksof Judges and I Samuel (1-12). The study is divided into two parts, Part A looks at the methodologies and perspectives of various 20th century Biblical scholars - for example the sociological perspective of Weber and Gottwald, the religious/historical perspective of Bright and Kaufmann, the literary perspective of Polzin and the close reading approach of ESlinger.
