Eli Kavon on Power and Prophecy in Midstream

My essay on power and prophecy appears in the Spring 2011 issue of Midstream, a journal of Jewish and Zionist politics and thought. "Political Power and the Prophet: Ahab, Elijah, and Naboth's Vineyard" is a study of power in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible. The essay is based on a paper I composed for Dr. Zohar Raviv in 2009. At the time, I was a doctoral student at the Spertus Institute for Jewish Studies in downtown Chicago. Thanks to Zohar for his inspiration and wisdom. Many thanks to Midstream editor Leo Haber for continuing to publish my work in his journal's pages.
