Abstract
This monograph is a revised version of the author's doctoral thesis from 2002 at the Theological Faculty, University of Copenhagen. Because of their support for the thesis, Prof. Niels Peter Lemche, University of Copenhagen, and the author's ‘husband, colleague, soul mate and editor of the Copenhagen International Series, Prof. Thomas L. Thompson’ are given special thanks in the Preface, p. ix. In the opening chapter, entitled ‘Creating the Case’, the author describes several issues to be dealt with within the book. They centre on the ‘centralization of religious and secular power in a single place (Jerusalem)’, p. 1; ‘we need to ask whether the whole of the Zion and Jerusalem ideology belongs to a specific program established at a time later than the literary chronology implied by its purported origin story’, p. 6. ‘Can we also establish an a quo date for the development of the ideology about Zion's inviolability as part of the ‘national’ as well as religious program presented above?’, p. 9.
