Book Review: Battered Love: Marriage, Sex, and Violence in the Hebrew Prophets

HEATON PRESUPPOSES that all the wisdom literature in the Old Testament and much writing influenced by wisdom were the product of a "school tradition." Beginning with the clear evidence of a school in the writings of Ben Sira, Heaton looks at schools in the ancient Near East and then examines Proverbs, portions of the prophetic literature, story writers (e.g., Joseph, Daniel, and David), Job, and Ecclesiastes. The result is a broad and fairly inclusive picture of a tradition grounded in the schools from which much of the Hebrew Bible derives. Parallels with ancient Near Eastern literature are frequently invoked to illustrate and substantiate this picture.
