RT Article T1 Neglected Contributions to the Study of Kingship in the Pentateuch and the Deuteronomistic History JF The formation of Biblical texts SP 33 OP 40 A1 Levinson, Bernard M. 1952- LA English YR 2024 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1903359643 AB In a memorial volume for Professor Gary N. Knoppers, this chapter examines his neglected contributions to the study of kingship in the Pentateuch and in the Deuteronomistic History. His article, “Dissonance and Disaster in the Legend of Kirta,” investigates kingship in Ugaritic epic and gets at the larger question of royal ideology in the ancient Near East. His article, “Rethinking the Relationship between Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomistic History,” challenges any notion of the Deuteronomistic History as a passive or slavish implementation of the legal corpus of Deuteronomy. Levinson draws attention to the methodological contributions of Knoppers. SN 9783161607417 K1 Kirta (König, vor 1500 v. Chr.) K1 Bibel. Deuteronomium, 17,2-13
