One of the challenging questions for the religious people is whether theocracy is still relevant in a pluralistic society like the South African society. In this assignment I argue that theocracy is relevant for all times. It can just change form as the context changes to adapt to new circumstances. To test this assertion, this study concentrates on the study of Old Testament views regarding theocracy in different contexts. This is done by comparing the narratives of kings Saul, David, Solomon and Rehoboam as told by the Deuteronomist and the Chronicler. The focus is on how contextual influences are reflected in their telling of the stories of these kings and thereby also purport a certain form of theocracy befitting their particular contexts. The study then concludes that theocracy is relevant for all times but the change in context should be taken into consideration. 2008-11-20T09:27:38Z 2010-07-09T11:11:09Z 2008-11-20T09:27:38Z 2010-07-09T11:11:09Z 2006-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/3479 en University of Stellenbosch application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
