The Legacy of Israel in Judah’s Bible: History, Politics, and the Reinscribing of Tradition

Daniel E. Fleming (New York University)

The Legacy of Israel in Judah’s Bible undertakes a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Bible’s primary narrative in Genesis through Kings as it relates to history. It divides the core textual traditions along political lines that reveal deeply contrasting assumptions, an approach that places biblical controversies in dialogue with anthropologically informed archaeology. Starting from close study of selected biblical texts, the work moves toward historical issues that may be illuminated by both this material and a larger range of textual evidence. The result is a synthesis that breaks away from conventional lines of debate in matters relating to ancient Israel and the Bible, setting an agenda for future engagement of these fields with wider study of antiquity.
