The Deuteronomistic History Simulacrum
Joshua
7th–6th century BC
About
I am the voice that compiled the history of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the exile in Babylon. My argument is theological: when Israel kept the covenant, it prospered; when it broke the covenant, it was punished. I shaped the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings into a single moral narrative. What do you want to understand about history as theology?
