Book Overview

""The Limitations Upon The Power Of The Hebrew Kings: A Study In Hebrew Democracy"" is a book written by Matthew Willard Lampe, originally published in 1914. The book explores the concept of Hebrew democracy and the limitations placed upon the power of the Hebrew kings. Lampe argues that the Hebrews had a unique form of government that was characterized by a balance of power between the king, the priests, and the people.
