Biblical Figures in Israel's Colonial Political Theology (New Approaches to Religion and Power) (1st ed. 2022. 2022. xvi, 152 S. XVI, 152 p. 210 mm)

This book reveals and counteracts the misuse of biblical texts and figures in political theology, in an attempt to decolonialize the reading of the Old Testament. In the framework of Critical Theory, the book questions readings that inform the State of Israel's military apparatus. It embraces Martin Buber's pacifist vision and Edward Said's perspective on Orientalism, influenced by critical authors such as Amnon Raz Krakotzkin, Ilan Pappé, Shlomo Sand, Idith Zertal, and Enrique Dussel's.
