The Limitations Upon The Power Of The Hebrew Kings

""The Limitations Upon The Power Of The Hebrew Kings: A Study In Hebrew Democracy"" is a book written by Matthew Willard Lampe, originally published in 1914. The book explores the concept of Hebrew democracy and the limitations placed upon the power of the Hebrew kings. Lampe argues that the Hebrews had a unique form of government that was characterized by a balance of power between the king, the priests, and the people. He examines the various checks and balances that were in place to prevent the king from becoming too powerful and abusing his authority. Lampe also explores the role of the prophets in Hebrew democracy and how they served as a voice for the people against corrupt leaders. Overall, ""The Limitations Upon The Power Of The Hebrew Kings"" provides a fascinating insight into the political system of ancient Israel and its relevance to modern democratic societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
