Description
Summary:The over-arching unity which characterises that section of the OT from Deuteronomy to 2 Kings has long been recognised as the work of a mind (or minds) permeated by the Dc outlook. The result of this from the historiographical point of view has been that ancient records and traditions of Israel's past are controlled and presented theologically to produce a specific historical scheme, a Heilsgeschichte. Two main procedures are selection and evaluation, both subordinated to the leitmotif of the Dc ideal. Here I want to suggest that within the overall selective process which has produced the Dc History we can discern another principle of selectivity, an inner line within the broad band of narrative.
