Recenzje

Provides a wide-ranging re-assessment of King Josiah ... a fine piece of scholarship which offers a reasoned and well-argued case for recognizing the extent to which the preservation and editorial shaping of several major literary texts of the Hebrew Bible require to be understood against the ideological background of the twilight years of the First Israelite Kingdom
