Enlevez la Bible aux Juifs, ils ne seront plus juifs. Ne leur laissez que la Bible, seront-ils encore juifs ? Comme l’identité qu'elle est censée fonder, la Bible échappe à toute définition simple. Livre un ou bibliothèque disparate ? Texte ou objet ? Révélation divine ou mythe national ? Littérature ou code législatif ? Pour les Juifs, la Bible a été tout cela. À travers les rapports changeants qu'ils ont noués avec elle, ce sont leurs propres métamorphoses qui se donnent à lire.Ainsi que celles de leurs adversaires. Car la Bible a aussi été brandie contre les Juifs – par les Chrétiens – pour les convaincre de leur erreur et pour les convertir. Ni somme ni essai, ce livre est d'abord la libre exploration d'un imaginaire. Une fenêtre largement ouverte sur une tradition qui à la fois nous interroge et nous engage tous, aujourd'hui comme hier. Ici même comme sur les collines de Cisjordanie.Que nous soyons Juifs ou pas. Que nous croyions au Ciel ou que nous n'y croyions pas.

The ancient Israelites believed things that the writers of the Bible wanted them to forget: myths and legends from a pre-biblical world that the new monotheist order needed to bury, hide, or reinterpret. Ancient Israel was rich in such literary traditions before the Bible reached the final form that we have today. These traditions were not lost but continued, passed down through the ages. Many managed to reach us in post-biblical sources: rabbinic literature, Jewish Hellenistic writings, the writings of the Dead Sea sect, the Aramaic, Greek, Latin, and other ancient

In this eagerly awaited book, political theorist Michael Walzer reports his findings after decades of reading and thinking about the politics of the Hebrew Bible. Attentive to nuance while engagingly straightforward, Walzer examines the commentary of the ancient biblical writers and discusses the implications for such urgent modern topics as the nature of political society, hierarchy and justice, the use of political power, the justification for and rules of warfare, and the responsibilities of clerical figures, monarchs, and their subjects. Because there are many biblical writers, and because they represent different political views, pluralism is a central feature of biblical politics, Walzer observes. Yet pluralism is never explicitly defended in the Bible-indeed it couldn't be defended since God's word is one. There is, however, an anti-political teaching which recurs in biblical texts: if you have faith in God, you have no need for particular political institutions or prudent political leaders or deliberative assemblies or loyal citizens. And, Walzer finds a strong moral teaching common to the Bible's authors. He identifies God's decree for ethics and investigates its implications for just policymaking in our own times.

This volume brings together experts in the study of ancient prayers and divination methods to analyse the variety of means by which human beings sought to communicate with their gods and by which the gods were seen to communicate with their worshippers. In a departure from previous scholarship, the volume brings together the study of prophecy, as an intuitive form of divination, with the study of technical methods of communication and other forms of institutionalised communication such as prayer. Such a format allows divine-human communication to be studied in both directions simultaneously: t
