A city's shattered peace serves as a rallying cry. In the land of Jabesh, an army looms near, carrying the blood of the inhabitants of conquered lands on their blades. King Dagon sets his sights on Jabesh and every tribe on its land. An ancient myth gives birth to three new heroes. King Gilead, ruler of Jabesh, seeks out hope where it was least expected. The myth of the seven locks of Samson and the power of God rumored to be within them is the last hope for the city of Jabesh. Jair, Namaan, and Shem are the descendants of the heroes of the past. They must step up to secure the future of their tribe. However, in the midst of the violence and betrayal, they must seek the strength within them to put an end to King Dagon's reign of terror once and for all.

Download and read online ebook Samson: Hero or Fool? write by Erik M.M. Eynikel. This book was released on 2014-04-10. Samson: Hero or Fool? available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Samson is a peculiar character. He is the most powerful of the Israelite judges and three whole chapters in the book of Judges are allocated to him. Yet he demonstrates many weaknesses, not least for the charms of women. In the international conference “Samson: Hero or Fool?” organised at the University of Nijmegen in April, 2008, the texts of Judges 16-18 were studied from different perspectives, investigating how the complex character of this (anti)hero lived on in various ways in the later traditions about him. The contributions discuss also the reception history of the Samson traditions in later Jewish, Christian and Islamic literature, as well as his representation in figurative and performing arts

Download and read online ebook The Invention of the Jewish People write by Shlomo Sand. This book was released on 2020-08-04. The Invention of the Jewish People available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be read and reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland? Shlomo Sand argues that most Jews actually descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The formation of a Jewish people and then a Jewish nation out of these disparate groups could only take place under the sway of a new historiography, developing in response to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe. Beneath the biblical back fill of the nineteenth-century historians, and the twentieth-century intellectuals who replaced rabbis as the architects of Jewish identity, The Invention of the Jewish People uncovers a new narrative of Israel’s formation, and proposes a bold analysis of nationalism that accounts for the old myths. After a long stay on Israel’s bestseller list, and winning the coveted Aujourd’hui Award in France, The Invention of the Jewish People is finally available in English. The central importance of the conflict in the Middle East ensures that Sand’s arguments will reverberate well beyond the historians and politicians that he takes to task. Without an adequate understanding of Israel’s past, capable of superseding today’s opposing views, diplomatic solutions are likely to remain elusive. In this iconoclastic work of history, Shlomo Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.
