This book argues that the post-exilic community's decision to expel the foreign women in its midst was the direct result of the community's ..."

The Necessary King(Updated)
A Postcolonial Reading of the Deuteronomistic Portrait of the Monarchy (Hebrew Bible Monographs)

ISBN-13: 978-1-909697-02-7, ISBN: 1-909697-02-8

"The Necessary King explains why Israel needed a king according to the Deuteronomistic History, and why its exilic readers can expect no future except under Davidic rule. Given Israel's tendency to rebellion against its divine suzerain, the king is the necessary agent of God's colonization of Israel, making and keeping it a loyal subject.. The Deuteronomistic History with its pro-Davidic narrative has three prongs, each of which relies ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-567-43692-4, ISBN: 0-567-43692-6

As the book follows this explanation through the History, however, it also reads Dtr through the lens of trauma theory. Massive psychic trauma is not something that can be captured within narrative explanation, and trauma intrudes into the narrat ..."

"true. Nelson's point about “genuinely contradictory themes” as the criterion for advancing arguments about redaction was actually a criticism of the Smend school,33 and his point is a useful one in regards to this critique. Have Smend et alii discovered redactional hands or have they, like Cross et alii, mistaken complexity of thought for editing? Both Nelson and Thomas Römer point out that it seems odd to posit a nomistic redactor ..."
