The Old Testament tells the story of a particular nation, ancient
Israel, from its origins to its collapse in the face of foreign
invaders. But what sort of story is this? How does it fit in with
the findings of archaeological explorations of ancient
Syro-Palestine? Joshua to Kings picks up the two aspects of the
story told in the books from Joshua to 2 Kings, that of an actual
historical society and that of a literary presentation of a nation,
told from a religious perspective. By exploring the contents of
these books the student is led into the use of basic tools for
biblical study, such as historical criticism, narrative criticism
and ideological criticism, in order to engage in a structured
manner with the task of reading and interpreting biblical texts in
the modern world. For this third edition the text has been revised
and updated to take into account the changes and shifts in
scholarship. Reading lists and bibliographies have been
comprehensively revised.
