In The Historical Books, Richard D. Nelson introduces neophyte
readers to the basic concepts of history and historical writing and
provides a simple framework of events and periods that can be used
to situate historical data reported in texts or presupposed by
them. Standard interpretive methods are accessibly explained and
illustrated by consistent reference to 2 Samuel 24. The focus of
discussion moves from the narrow level of individual pericope to
larger units of meaning. Because the ultimate goal is to expose the
claims made on the reader by these biblical texts and to help the
reader make sense of these claims, the interpretive spotlight rests
on the present interaction of text and reader rather than on the
past.
