This book aims to demonstrate that Primary History, the historical
work contained in the first nine books of the Hebrew Bible
(Genesis-2 Kings), was written as one unitary work, in deliberate
emulation of the Greek-language Histories of Herodotus of
Halicarnassus (completed c. 440 BCE), so that the diversity of its
books and sections is largely a literary device. The work is
believed to have been written in the period 440-420 BCE, in the
period of reform usually associated with the name of Nehemiah.
Though this thesis does not directly affect questions of
historicity, understanding the literary nature of Primary History
promises to open new vistas for research into the history of
Israel, the Hebrew Bible in general and the history of the Hebrew
language.
