Zion, City of Our God
Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Jun 2000
Hess, Richard S. and Gordon J. Wenham, eds. Zion, City of Our God. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999, x + 206 pp., $22.00 paper.
Nine essays by as many scholars deal with Jerusalem historically, literarily, and theologically. The project springs from papers delivered at a Tyndale Fellowship OT study group in Cambridge in 1996, but many of the essays were commissioned specially for this volume. (Two volumes with similar focus, also with connections to Tyndale House, are P. W. L. Walker, ed., Jerusalem: Past and Present in the Purposes of God [Cambridge: Tyndale House, 1992]; idem, Jesus and the Holy City: New Testament Perspectives on Jerusalem [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1996].)
After a short preface by the editors ("Zion, City of Our God"), the eight principal essays are "The Temple of Solomon: Heart of Jerusalem," by John M. Monson (pp. 1-- 22); "Hezekiah and Sennacherib in 2 Kings 18-20," by Richard S. Hess (pp. 23-41); "Jerusalem in Chronicles, by Martin J. Selman (pp. 43-56); "Jerusalem at War in Chronicles," by Gary N. Knoppers (pp. 57-76); "The Use of the Zion Tradition in the Book of Ezekiel," by Thomas Renz (pp. 77-103); "Zion in the Songs of Ascents," by Philip E. Satterthwaite (pp. 105-128); "The Personification of Jerusalem and the Drama of Her Bereavement in Lamentations," by Knut Heim (pp. 129-169); "Molek of Jerusalem?" by Rebecca Doyle (pp. 171-206).
