Thompson, Richard Jude
Terror of the Radiance

Assur Covenant to YHWH Covenant.

The study investigates Martin Noth’s conclusion about the Deuteronomistic History (DH) that the people of Israel had committed apostasy (Abfall), ceased to obey the law code of Yhwh, and thus lost their land. Scholars have challenged Noth’s hypothesis and even the existence of such a history. The present study adopts a thematic reading of the DH as a coherent corpus of writing with a consistent message. 260 Seiten, gebunden (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis; Vol. 258/Academic Press Fribourg/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2013)
