Much of the Old Testament narrates what it claims to be the history
of Israel. However, a close reading of the biblical text in
conjunction with other literary and archaeological evidence
indicates that the "history" provided by the Old Testament is
frequently inaccurate or untrue. Marc Zvi Brettler explores
alternative ways of reading the biblical texts. Through an indepth
analysis of texts from the "Book of Chronicles", "Genesis",
"Deuteronomy", "Judges" and "Samuel", Brettler shows how the
biblical historians were influenced by four key factors: typology,
interpretation of earlier texts, satire and ideology. This work
demonstrates how the historian, by taking account of this model of
history writing, can start to piece together the history of ancient
Israel using the Hebrew Bible as a source.
