Description: A thorough and detailed analysis of the Deuternomistic History and its influence on the Second Temple period.
Review Quotes: "This is a tour de force by a leading scholar of international renown who is thoroughly conversant with both European and American biblical scholarship. The book is erudite and eminently readable. Romer's analysis of the Deuteronomistic History is well informed by its ancient Near Eastern background and literary parallels. Whether one is ultimately persuaded by his overall reconstruction or not, this volume has plenty of provocative new ideas and proposals." - Steven L. McKenzie is Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at Rhodes College, Memphis, USA
