| Summary: | "Underlying the biblical books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles--and hidden for millennia in plain sight--is a finely crafted record of Jerusalem's kings. These essays develop the thesis that the material common to the books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles is both untypical of Samuel-Kings as a whole and the major source out of which they developed. Most importantly, they explore the DNA of what Graeme Auld calls the Book of Two Houses (BoTH): some 150 uniquely paired words (including names) and phrases that occur in its reports of only two kings. The final extended essay sets these pairings in their context throughout the book. As the artistry of this foundational text is revealed, fresh historical questions call for answers." -- |
