Summary:

This study appraises the Jeroboam story as a discourse, which upon dissection, betokens the necessity to switch the prime focus from the person of Jeroboam to the question of divinity. The author adopts and remodels the pragma-rhetorical method to probe the strategies which the writer of the discource employs to persuade the audience about the concept of divine singularity. In essence, the ensuring conceptualization of divinity is used to eludicate the identity and character of the God of Israel in the face of the challenge posed by the lures of other gods and their enticing cults. --Book cover.
