The Authors Of The Deuteronomistic History: Locating A Tradition In Ancient Israel

Peterson engages the identities and provenances of the authors of the various "editions" of the Deteronomistic History. Peterson asks where we might locate a figure with both motive and opportunity to draw up a proto-narrative including elements of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and the first part of 1 Kings. Peterson identifies a particular candidate in the time of David qualified to write the first edition. He then identifies the particular circle of custodians of the Deuteronomistic narrative and supplies successive redactions down to the time of Jeremiah. 9781451469967 1451469969 405 Religion NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=beQnBAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
