Narratological analysis is applied to deconstruct the ideology of the respective literary compositions. The Old Testament ideology of war seems to be neither typically Israelite, as Gerhardt von Rad put it, nor commonly Ancient Near Eastern, as Manfred Weippert thought it to be. This poses the question whether the reading experience of biblical war stories is so very different from, for instance, Assyrian royal inscriptions, both in terms of its literary value and its ideological bias. Narratological analysis turns out to be a strong tool for explaining the similarities and distinctive features of the respective texts.Studia Semitica Neerlandica ;51.WarBiblical teachingMilitary history in the BibleMiddle Eastern literatureRelation to the Old TestamentWar in literatureMilitary art and scienceMiddle EastHistoryMiddle EastHistoryTo 622Electronic books.WarBiblical teaching.Military history in the Bible.Middle Eastern literatureRelation to the Old Testament.War in literature.Military art and scienceHistory.222/.506Deijl Aarnoud van der999019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458944003321Protest or propaganda2292001UNINA
