Full Description
Cynthia Edenburg is one of the leading experts of the formation of the
books covering Deuteronomy and the Former Prophets, commonly called "the
Deuteronomistic History". She has renewed scholarly understanding of the
process how the narrative and legal traditions that are gathered in
these books were written down for the first time before they were edited
in several ways by the Deuteronomistic redactors. She provided new
insight into these redactional processes by distinguishing several ways
of revising a text. Most of the contributions gathered in this volume
pursue the question of the composition and revision of the books of
Deuteronomy and the Former Prophets. Additional contributions deal with
the history of the text of other books, from Genesis to Chronicles. They
are all presented to Cynthia Edenburg as an appreciation of her
influence on current scholarship.
