Based on thirty years of archival and documentary research and numerous field trips to the region, Joseph W. Esherick's book examines the origins of the Communist revolution in Northwest China, from the political, social, and demographic changes of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), to the intellectual ferment of the early Republic, the guerrilla movement of the 1930s, and the replacement of the local revolutionary leadership after Mao and the Center arrived in 1935. In Accidental Holy Land, Esherick compels us to consider the Chinese Revolution not as some inevitable peasant response to poverty and oppression, but as the contingent product of local, national, and international events in a constantly changing milieu.Political Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & SocialismbisacshHistory / Asia / ChinabisacshHistory / AsiabisacshHistoryShan Gan Ning Bian Qu (China)HistoryPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & SocialismHistory / Asia / ChinaHistory / AsiaHistory335.43/45Esherick Joseph W242448ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK996475754803316Accidental Holy Land2901116UNISA02705nam 2200529Ia 450 991078225710332120230817151302.01-281-84211-797866118421160-567-59420-3(CKB)1000000000542293(EBL)436328(OCoLC)276948710(MiAaPQ)EBC436328(Au-PeEL)EBL436328(CaPaEBR)ebr10250903(CaONFJC)MIL184211(OCoLC)893333912(EXLCZ)99100000000054229319890207h19881988 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMoses heroic man, man of God /George W.

George Coats identifies two strands in the Moses tradition, the tradition of the hero who represents the people of God, and that of the 'man of God', distinctly unheroic in folkloristic terms, who represents God to the people. This duality in the portrayal of Moses becomes evident already in the call narrative of Exodus 3, a narrative that should not be divided between J and E but reflects the most ancient perception of the character Moses and his sJournal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;57.Leadership in the BibleLeadership in the Bible.222.1092222/.1092 BCoats George W1484561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782257103321Moses3703262UNINA
