| Zusammenfassung: | God deserves obedience simply because he's God--or does he? Inspired by a passion for biblical as well as constitutional scholarship, in this bold exploration Yale Law Professor Robert A. Burt conceptualizes the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. God's authority as expressed in these accounts is not a given. It is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government. In recounting the rich narratives of key biblical figures--from Adam and Eve to Noah, Cain, Abraham, Moses, Job, and Jesus--In the Whirlwind paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples. Taking the Hebrew and Christian Bibles as a unified whole, Burt traces God's relationship with humanity as it evolves from complete harmony at the outset to continual struggle. In almost every case, God insists on unconditional obedience, while humanity withholds submission and holds God accountable for his promises. Contemporary political theory aims for perfect justice. The Bible, Burt shows, does not make this assumption. Justice in the biblical account is an imperfect process grounded in human--and divine--limitation. Burt suggests that we consider the lessons of this tension as we try to negotiate the power struggles within secular governments, and also the conflicts roiling our public and private lives. In this bold exploration of the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, Burt shows that God's authority is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government. He paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples. |

Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2012. 1 online resource (xv, 382 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file Includes bibliographical references and index. In the beginning -- The appearance of authority -- God gives, God takes away -- God's promises: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- Loving power: Moses -- Love offered, love commanded: Moses and the children of Israel -- Grief and grievance: Moses and Job -- As we forgive those -- A renewed Testament: Mark, Matthew, and Luke -- The same Old Testament: Paul and Jesus -- Eliminating doubts and doubters: John -- The insoluble problem of politics -- Justice, justice shall you pursue -- Reconciling with injustice. Print version record. God deserves obedience simply because he's God--or does he? Inspired by a passion for biblical as well as constitutional scholarship, in this bold exploration Yale Law Professor Robert A. Burt conceptualizes the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. God's authority as expressed in these accounts is not a given. It is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government. In recounting the rich narratives of key biblical figures--from Adam and Eve to Noah, Cain, Abraham, Moses, Job, and Jesus--In the Whirlwind paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples. Taking the Hebrew and Christian Bibles as a unified whole, Burt traces God's relationship with humanity as it evolves from complete harmony at the outset to continual struggle. In almost every case, God insists on unconditional obedience, while humanity withholds submission and holds God accountable for his promises. Contemporary political theory aims for perfect justice. The Bible, Burt shows, does not make this assumption. Justice in the biblical account is an imperfect process grounded in human--and divine--limitation. Burt suggests that we consider the lessons of this tension as we try to negotiate the power struggles within secular governments, and also the conflicts roiling our public and private lives. In this bold exploration of the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, Burt shows that God's authority is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government.
