Introducing Old Testament Theology
Willingness to Die and the Gift of Life
Deuteronomy and the Reigns of Kings Hezekiah and Josiah of Judah
This chapter critically examines the modern debate concerning the sociohistorical setting of the composition of the book of Deuteronomy. It begins with discussion of the initial work of W. M. L. de Wette, who argued that Deuteronomy would have been the Book of Torah that was discovered in the Jerusalem Temple during the reign of King Josiah (640–609 bce). It then turns to the work of scholars such as Adam Welch, Albrecht Alt, Gerhard von Rad, and…

Reading Prophetic Books
What has to be considered when reading prophetic books in their final literary form? Marvin A. Sweeney addresses key hermeneutical, formal, textual, and intertextual dimensions in the reading of prophetic books as well as their reception in post-biblical Jewish literature.
Reading prophetic books
In this volume Marvin A. Sweeney builds upon his former work ""Form and Intertextuality in Prophetic and Apocalyptic Literature"" (FAT 45, 2005). He introduces further studies that take up several key issues, including the reading of prophetic books in their final literary form and the significance of textual versions for this reading. He also observes the intertextual relationships between the prophets and other works of biblical and post-biblic…

Ezekiel's Conceptualization of the Exile in Intertextual Perspective
This paper identifies and examines the intertextual allusions in Ezekiel 12 that appear throughout the chapter in an attempt to assess their significance. It argues that Ezekiel draws especially upon Isaian texts concerning the blindness and deafness of the people as well as texts in both Isaiah and Exodus concerned with the Exodus in formulating the understanding of exile presented in Ezekiel 12. The paper proceeds in three stages. First, it exa…

Cultic Prophecy in the Psalms – By John W. Hilber
A Reassessment of the Masoretic and Septuagint Versions of the Jeroboam Narratives in 1 Kings/3 Kingdoms 11-14
This paper takes up the debate concerning the interrelationships between the accounts of Jeroboam's reign in the Masoretic text of 1 Kgs 11-14, the Septuagint text of 3 Kgdms 11-14, and the so-called alternative account of 3 Kgdms 12:24a-z. A careful literary and translationational study of each account demonstrates the interpretative character of both the Septuagint and alternative accounts. The rearranged order of the alternative account, the e…

They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genr…
The Jewish Temple
King Josiah of Judah
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
