Author:
Steven Hollowayâs work is the first monograph devoted to Neo-Assyrian religious imperialism. Neo-Assyrian religious imperialism was expressed by punitive measures such as "godnapping", the violent deportation of a vanquished foeâs divine images, but also, and this is a far less-studied facet of this topic, by the geographical focus and extent of the material support the Assyrians lavished on favored polities, in effect a Marshall Plan aimed at winning over the elite citizenry pivotal to maintaining economic and political equilibrium.
Steven W. Holloway, Ph.D. (1992) in Old Testament, The University of Chicago, teaches on an adjunct basis in the Chicago area and works full-time for the American Theological Library Association. He has published and lectured extensively on the Bible, Assyriology, and their common ground.
All those interested in Neo-Assyrian religious imperialism, including Assyriologists, Hebrew Scriptures specialists, all those with strong interests in ancient history and religion, critical studies/poststructuralists engaged in Orientalist studies, archaeologists.
