Summary:The Deuteronomistic History describes the failure of ancient Israel's religious and political institutions to prevent the disasters of 597 and 587 B.C.E., implying that the monarchy, prophecy, and the temple and its priesthood were not essential elements in Israel s relationship with Yhwh. That relationship was a by-product of obedience to the written authoritative law as found in the Book of Deuteronomy. The Deuteronomistic History then helped to facilitate the transformation of the religion of ancient Israel into the religion of Judaism.
