But, in spite of their differences in location and community membership, and perhaps in the spirit of the times (2020 and its global discontents), they share preoccupations with questions of ethics in politics and life, 'proper' death, violence and social exclusion or inclusion. This volume offers readers a better understanding of how politics and faith can be melded, both in ancient and contemporary contexts, to serve the interests of certain classes and societies, often at the expense of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAthalya Brenner-Idan \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor Emerita of HB\/OT at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Professor in Biblical Studies at Tel Aviv University, Israel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGale A.
