"David Janzen argues that the Book of Chronicles is a document with a political message as well as a theological one and moreover, that the book's politics explain its theology. The author of Chronicles was part of a 4th century B.C.E. group within the post-exilic Judean community that hoped to see the Davidides restored to power, and he or she composed this work to promote a restoration of this house to the position of a client monarchy ..."

"The anthropological approach to the expulsion of the foreign women from the post-exilic community argues that it was the result of a witch-hunt. Its comparative approach notes that the community responded to its weak social boundaries in the same fashion as societies with similar social weaknesses. 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 ..."
"This book opens a new frontier in understanding nonviolence. Discussions of peace and nonviolence usually focus on either moral theory or practical dimensions of applying nonviolence in conflict situations. Teaching Peace carries the discussion of nonviolence beyond ethics and into the rest of the academic curriculum. This book isn't just for religion or philosophy teachers--it is for all educators. Teaching Peace begins with a discuss ..."
The Necessary King(Updated) A Postcolonial Reading of the Deuteronomistic Portrait of the Monarchy (Hebrew Bible Monographs) by DavidJanzen Hardcover, 300 Pages, Published 2013 by Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd 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 ..."
The Violent Gift(1st Edition) Traumaâ(TM)s Subversion of the Deuteronomistic Historyâ(TM)s Narrative (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies) by DavidJanzen Hardcover, 288 Pages, Published 2012 by Bloomsbury T&T Clark ISBN-13: 978-0-567-43692-4, ISBN: 0-567-43692-6
"The Violent Gift traces the narrative of the exilic author of the Deuteronomistic History, a narrative that provides an explanation for the trauma that the Judean community in Babylon suffered. 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 ..."
