Description
The So-Called Deuteronomistic History: A Sociological, Historical and Literary Introduction by Thomas Romer This detailed investigation of the Deuteronomistic History provides a comprehensive guide to this important subject, essential for students and scholars of the Old Testament. Romer outlines the content of relevant biblical books, including Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and Samuel-Kings, before defining the concept of Deuteronomistic History and surveying the evolution of the debate. Romer's sociological, historical, and literary approach examines the rise of Deuteronomism under Assyrian hegemony, the role of propaganda in the composition of these books, and the ideological and sociological changes that occurred during the Exile and Persian periods. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the Deuteronomistic History and its influence on the identity of the Second Temple period.
