God and earthly power : an Old Testament political theology Genesis-Kings
Considers the nature of human power in the light of belief in God. This book examines the problem of the particularity of the Old Testament, both in general and in relation to New Testament universality. It is argued that in the biblical understanding of God there is not a link between monotheism and totalitarianism.
