On the basis of close, contextual readings of the four passages most commonly attributed to (semi-)Deuteronomistic hands, Warner argues that editorial use of Deuteronomistic language and themes points not to a sympathy with Deuteronomistic theology but rather to a sustained project to review and even subvert that theology. Warner’s ‘re-imagining’ of Abraham demonstrates how Israel’s forebear was ‘re-imagined’ in the post-exilic context for the purpose of offering the returning exiles a way forward at a time when all the old certainties, and even continued relationship with Yahweh, seemed lost.Oudtestamentische studiën ;Volume 72.Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism)Deuteronomistic history (Biblical criticism)222.11066Warner Meg1657874MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817384803321Re-imagining Abraham4011553UNINA
