Retelling the Torah - The Deuternonmistic Historian's Use of Tetrateuchal Narratives

'Harvey has done a great service in enabling us to read stories from Genesis to 2 Kings in their entirety...his thesis will stimulate and challange Old Testament exegetes and theologians...its implications are both novel and fa-reaching'John E. Harvey has a Ph.D in Old Testament from St. Michael's University College in Toronto, Ontario. He is the registrar of the Thorneloe University School of Theology, and is a deacon in the Anglican Church of Canada. Zusammenfassung The Deuteronomistic Historian patterned more than four dozen of his narratives after those in Genesis-Numbers. The stories that make up Genesis-Numbers were indelibly impressed on the Deuteronomistic Historian's mind, to such an extent that in Deuteronomy-Kings he tells the stories of the nation through the lens of Genesis-Numbers.
