Dr. Eva Etzioni-Halevy – Israel: The 11th Century B.C. and Now
The Song of Hannah, A Biblical Novel of Love, Temptation, and the Making of A Prophet
Eva Etzioni-Halevy, a retired professor of sociology at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel, is the author of, “The Song of Hannah, A Biblical Novel of Love, Temptation, and the Making of A Prophet,” and the guest in this edition of Radio Curious. The story takes place in Judea in the eleventh century B.C. when few people were literate. In this interview with Eva Etzioni-Halevy, recorded from her home in Tel Aviv, Israel, in late September 2006, she describes her interpretation of Hannah’s life, loves and leadership, and her impressions of Israel several weeks after the summer 2006 war with Lebanon. We began when I asked her to describe who Hannah was.
Dr. Eva Etzioni-Halevy recommends, “Walking the Bible,” by Bruce Feiler.
