Front 21

Survey of Biblical books Which books are normally included in the “Deuteronomistic History” as it is commonly understood in OT scholarship? In what way does this name provide insight to our understanding of those books? How might a name like “former prophets” be preferable? What theological organizing principle govern these books?

Back 21

Deuteronomy—2 Kings 3. This name tells us that the book of Deuteronomy has strongly influenced how these books were written and must be understood in light of that Deuteronomy as well. Former prophets.

1). Because these are in fact a prophetic interpretation of parts of Israel’s history; 2). It also demonstrates that the prophets were not innovators but provided a continuation of Mosaic ministry, as promised in Deut. 18:15.
1. In principle the idea of a “Deuteronomistic History” is helpful in that we see the theological concerns of Deuteronomy played out in Israel’s history. Hence it is useful in stressing the unity of the narrative. It is possible to hold this without accepting the more unhelpful constructs concerning the authorship and provenance of Deuteronomy residing in Josiah’s seventh century reforms. Finally, it is preferable to simply use the term “former prophets” since these books are in fact a prophetic interpretation of at least some of Israel’s history.[1] As such, prophets were not innovators but provided a continuation of Mosaic ministry (Deut 18.15ff).
Theological organizing...
1. The welfare of the people of Israel and Judah in the land and their successful participation in fulfilling the mission God has given them is intricately tied to their faithfulness and their king’s faithfulness to the Lord. This faithfulness is measured by the extent to which they keep the covenant expressed in the Torah, especially Deuteronomy, and their submission to the prophets the Lord sends to enforce that covenant.
