Unpacking Historical Narratives in the Ancient Near East
This chapter investigates how historical narratives, particularly in the ancient Near East, are often shaped by those in power, leading to biased perceptions of history. It explores the dynamics of power, gender, and selective storytelling as reflected in biblical texts, alongside the challenges of reconciling these accounts with archaeological findings. The discussion also emphasizes themes of hope, community, and collective agency in the face of adversity, particularly in relation to Hebrew Scriptures and their formulation post-exile.
