    NATIONAL POETRY, EMPIRES AND WAR
    DAVID ABERBACH
    Nationalism has given the world a genre of poetry bright with ideals of justice, freedom and the brotherhood of man, but also, at times, burning with humiliation and grievance, hatred and lust for revenge, driving human kind, as the Austrian poet Grillparzer put it, ‘From humanity via nationality to bestiality’. National Poetry, Empires and War considers national poetry, and it...

    IMPERIALISM AND BIBLICAL PROPHECY
    DAVID ABERBACH
    Imperialism and Biblical Prophecy is a radically new interpretation of prophetic poetry.

    THE BIBLE AND THE 'HOLY POOR'
    DAVID ABERBACH
    The Hebrew Bible is the main legislative and literary influence on European Poor Law and on literature on poverty and the poor. No extant literature from the ancient world placed more importance upon social welfare and the duty of the better-off toward the poor. It is the founding text for liberation movements. This book assesses why the Bible is so unambiguously positive in it...
