This essay offers an introduction to select disciplinary
developments in the study of history and in historical study of the
Hebrew Bible. It focuses first and foremost on "cultural history,"
a broad category defined by nineteenth- and twentieth-century
developments in anthropology and sociology, literary theory and
linguistics, and other fields of study. The first part of the essay
comments on developments since the so-called "linguistic turn,"
highlighting some key works on culture, narrative, and memory, in
order to establish a contemporary historical approach to biblical
studies. It then turns to questions of the Hebrew Bible's
usefulness for historical study, and highlights studies of King
David and the Davidic polity in ancient Israel/Judah, to show how
scholars of the Bible have done historical work in recent years.
And finally, it provides a case study of the book of Joshua,
demonstrating how historians can utilize biblical texts as sources
for cultural history.
