Said to have lived from 640-609 BC, King Josiah of Judah is a figure of extraordinary importance for the history of Israel. Using synchronic and diachronic analyses of the Deuteronomistic History, Deuteronomy, and selected prophetic books, Marvin Sweeney reconstructs the ideological perspectives of King Josiah's program of religious and national restoration.
Industry Reviews
"[Sweeney] is not afraid to challenge long-held scholarly consensus and to chart new paths when he feels the text warrants it. Future discussions of Josiah's vision and reforming efforts will certainly need to grapple with this study."-- The Catholic Biblical Quarterly "[Sweeney] is not afraid to challenge long-held scholarly consensus and to chart new paths when he feels the text warrants it. Future discussions of Josiah's vision and reforming efforts will certainly need to grapple with this study."-- The Catholic Biblical Quarterly "Sweeney shows again the importance of the Josianic period for the history of literature and religion in Judah in a very impressive way. He correctly show that Deuteronomy was in its substance a pre-exilic program which became effective in exilic and postexilic times. Sweeney has written an important book and contribution to Old Testament scholarship."-- SHOFAR
