Linville argues that a new approach to the book of Kings is needed
because of the failings of the usual historical-critical methods.
He adopts a holistic approach which sees the book as a Persian-era
text intended to articulate politically and religiously significant
symbols within the book's monarchic history. These express the
producer's reactions to important issues of Jewish identity in the
continuing Diaspora and in Jerusalem. In the story of the schisms
and apostacies of Israel's defunct monarchies both the Diaspora and
cultural pluralism are legitimized. Rival versions of Israelite
heritage are reconciled under an overarching sense of a greater
Israelite history and identity.
