Uncover the crucial link between war, memory, and the forging of national identity in the Hebrew Bible. Jacob L. Wright presents a compelling argument that depictions of conflict were not merely historical accounts but fundamental tools for ancient Israel’s identity construction. Discover how biblical authors masterfully used memories of war, both real and imagined, to create a unified sense of peoplehood, overcoming internal rifts and external threats. This illuminating study is essential for students, researchers, and anyone keen on understanding the deep connections between biblical narratives, historical memory, and the formation of national identity.
