Hezekiah and the Dialogue of Memory

  • By Son-Mi Suzie Park
$69.75
Product Description

Hezekiah is a critical figure in the Hebrew Bible, which credits him with major political, social, and religious reforms in Judahs history and the weathering of a major crisis in the invasion of the Assyrians under their emperor, Sennacherib. Examining the different accounts of Hezekiahs reign in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and Isaiah, Song-Mi Suzie Park describes a Hezekiah complex that developed over a long time, in which the figure of Hezekiah served as a symbol for the vicissitudes of Judahs history. The king could be understood as a positive reformer of the pagan ways of the country, or as a sinner, at least partly responsible for the threats and disasters that befell Judah, from Sennacheribs invasion through the Babylonian exile more than a century later. By showing how the stories about Hezekiah developed over time through a process of response and counterresponse, forming at the end a dialogue of memory, Park elucidates the ways in which biblical stories in general function as loci of continual dialogue, dispute, and discussion.
