Le Spectre Nominal. Des Noms De Matières Aux Noms D’abstractions

Resumen del Libro

The present debate on the so-called Deuteronomistic History has become quite confusing and in recent years more and more scholars are inclined to deny the existence of a Deuteronomistic History as elaborated by Martin Noth or at least to modify this thesis radically. The contributions in this volume reflect the present state of discussion about the Deuteronomistic History. With one exception they have all been presented and discussed in three special sessions dedicated to Deuteronomism during the SBL International Meeting in Lausanne (July 1997). Three topics were treated: The Future of the Deuteronomistic History, Identity and Literary Strategies of the Deuteronomists, Deuteronomism and the Hebrew Bible. The contributors are: R. Albertz, A.G. Auld, M. Bauks, W. Dietrich, D. Edelman, F. Garcia Lopez, E.A. Knauf, G. Knoppers, S.K. McKenzie, C. Nihan, T.C. Romer, N.H. Rosel, J. Van Seters and J. Vermeylen. Each contribution offers a valuable entry into one of the most important discussions of Old Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century.
