In the Beginning Was the State: Divine Violence in the Hebrew Bible - Idiom: Inventing Writing Theory
Adi M. Ophir
This book explores God’s use of violence as depicted in the Hebrew Bible. Ophir shows how the Bible’s varied formations of divine violence anticipate the main outlines of the modern European state. A critique of the modern state, the book argues, must begin in unpacking its mostly repressed theological dimension.
