This book investigates the Dan/Danite tradition in the Hebrew Bible
in order to determine not only what the Bible tells us about Dan,
but also how far traditions about the territory, city, ancestor and
tribe may have influenced each other. Bartusch argues that the
political and theological interests reflected in the relatively
late work of the Deuteronomistic historian have cast a shadow over
some earlier traditions, and that by combining social-science
models and newer literary criticism with the more traditional
historical-critical methodologies, the original meaning of the
traditions of Dan may be recovered and clarified. The conclusion of
such a study is that the Hebrew Bible as a whole does not entirely
support the negative portrayal of Dan in its later traditions.
