Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire
ISAC welcomes the University of Chicago’s Jeffrey Stackert, Professor of Hebrew Bible, for a lecture titled: Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire. A biblical scholar who situates the Hebrew Bible in the context of the larger ancient Near East, Stackert’s research focuses on the composition of the Pentateuch, ancient Near Eastern prophecy, cultic text, and ancient Near Eastern Law. His first book, Rewriting the Torah: Literary Revision in Deuteronomy and the Holiness Legislation was the recipient of the 2010 John Templeton Award for Theological Promise.
This program is made possible by the support of ISAC Members.

Jeffrey Stackert | Judah in the Shadow of the Assyrian Empire. 18.4.24. so when did you awaken to decide you were in a relationship with…….?
This is real historian work – putting the pieces together, finding connections, recreating the flow of events. Nice and logical presentation.
Great breakdown really informative connection, thank you. Irving Finkel | The Ark Before Noah: A Great Adventure is possibly the Mesopotamian flood story that he mention's but has trouble recalling. The connections are even more apparent. well worth a watch. It's on this channel so you can search for it here.
BCE should be BC “before Christ”…it’s ALL about God, not “eras”
It's good to remind that Israel and Judah combined were 1/3 territory of the modern day Israel. Monotheism is a produce of 6th century BCE, and the Mosaic law was a produce of 4th century Ezra as a fabrication for the purpose of consolidation of the Hebrews politically. The prism is in a Hexagon form because the Hexagon was associated with Saturn-Anu, Assur, or "Shaitanu", i.e. "Imperial, kingly" per Assyrian dictionary. Vide – Harranian (Sabian) temples.
Supremely interesting
