Abstract

The article aims to compare the results of Israel’s main political-religious reforms in the name of monotheism with the message of Joel. It describes the reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, and also the ethnic reform of Ezra and Nehemiah. Later, these reforms are compared with Joel’s universalist and liberating message, stressing on the pericopes of Joel 3,1-5 and 4,4-8. Thus, this is mainly a bibliographical research. The result of this research shows that the institution of monotheism was ambiguous and it oscillated between oppression and humanization. While Ezra and Nehemiah’s monarchist reform served to political and domination purposes, Joel’s message contributed to more inclusive and liberating actions.
