Central Sanctuary and Centralization of Worship in Ancient Israel : From the Settlement to the Building of Solomon's Temple Paperback / softback
by Pekka Pitkanen
Part of the Gorgias Near Eastern Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book provides the first major reinvestigation and reinterpretation of the history of centralization of worship in ancient Israel since de Wette and Wellhausen in the nineteenth century.
Old Testament scholarship has thus far relied on the consensus that the book of Deuteronomy is the product of late monarchic Judah (7th century BC).
Pitkanen places the biblical material in its archaeological and ancient Near Eastern context and pays special attention to rhetorical analysis.
The author suggests that the book of Joshua, as well as its sources (such as Deuteronomy) may have originated as early as before the disaster of Aphek and the rejection of Shiloh.
