Contents:
The linguistic difference between the Deuteronomistic History and the book of Chronicles -- The scribes of ancient Israel in their oral world -- Multiformity in the Deuteronomistic History and the book of Chronicles -- Multiformity and the Synoptic passages -- Multiformity and the nonsynoptic passages.
Summary: This volume reexamines and reconstructs the relationship between the Deuteronomistic History and the book of Chronicles, building on recent developments such as the Persian -period dating of the Deuteronomistic History, the contribution of oral traditional studies to understanding the production of biblical texts, and the reassessment of Standard Biblical Hebrew and Late Biblical Hebrew. These new perspectives challenge widely held understandings of the relationship between the two scribal works and strongly suggest that they were competing historiographies during the Persian period that nevertheless descended from a common source. This new reconstruction leads to new readings of the literature.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-193) and index.
