The Deuteronomic or, more properly, Deuteronomistic History is a
modern theoretical construct which holds that the books of
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings constitute a single
work, unified by a basic homogeneity in language, style, and
content. This construct owes much to the influence of Martin Noth's
classic study of the Deuteronomistic History, contained in his
larger Uberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien. According to Noth, the
Deuteronomist incorporated the deuteronomic law into the beginning
of his work, framing it with speeches by Moses. The Deuteronomist
then added other sources, such as tales of conquest and settlement,
prophetic narratives and speeches, official annals and records.
While this larger thesis has stood the test of time, there is much
disagreement among contemporary scholars about a wide variety of
issues. The present collection attempts to provide readers with an
understanding of the important developments, methodologies, and
points of view in the ongoing debate. Both current essays and some
older, classic essays that have shaped the larger debate are
included. Ten are newly translated into English. Each essay is
prefaced by a detailed foreword by one of the editors that
summarizes and places the essay in its appropriate context, making
the volume ideal for use in seminars or courses, as well as for
individuals wishing to become familiar with the state of discussion
on the Deuteronomistic History.
