| dc.description.abstract | The concept of ḥērem has narrowly been interpreted within context of warfare and its operationalization limited to the conquest period. Through exegesis of Deuteronomy 7 and other related scripture, this research examined ḥērem as a salvific concept that as divinely prescribed in the Torah with its purpose being the extermination of evil and purification of Yahweh’s worship. The research looked at how ḥērem is conceptualized in the Torah; how ḥērem concept is developed in the rest of the Hebrew Scripture; and it proposed how contemporary Christians should apply the ḥērem concept. This research used Social Scientific criticism and grammatical historical criticism method to examine the main text. Chapter One focus on the background to the study, problem statement, objectives of the research, significance of the research and theoretical method. Chapter Two looks at the literature relating to the ḥērem concept; Chapter Three discusses the cultural and historical context of the book of Deuteronomy focusing mainly on a general historical background of Deuteronomy; Chapter Four discusses the analysis of Deuteronomy 7:1-11 and the synthesis of the Biblical data; Chapter Five gives conclusion and recommendations. | |
