Subject: The Deuteronomistic Redaction of the Former Prophets: Its Relation to the Book of Deuteronomy and its Law Code

Supervisor: Dr. Ronnie Goldstein

Abstract: My research deals with the redaction of the Former Prophets (Joshua to Kings) and its affinity with the book of Deuteronomy and its law code (Deut. 12 – 26). Scholars have noticed such an affinity already in the 19th century, though they left its exact nature and details unsolved. One should note also the exhaustion of scholarly terminology in passing generations. I intend to conduct a more penetrating inquiry into the nature of the relation between the two corpora: With which segments of Deuteronomy were the redactors of the former prophets acquainted and in which phase of redaction?
