This construct owes much to the influence of Martin Noth’s classic study of the Deuteronomistic History, contained in his larger \u003ci\u003eUberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien\u003c\/i\u003e. According to Noth, the Deuteronomist incorporated the deuteronomic law into the beginning of his work, framing it with speeches by Moses. The Deuteronomist then added other sources, such as tales of conquest and settlement, prophetic narratives and speeches, official annals and records. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile this larger thesis has stood the test of time, there is much disagreement among contemporary scholars about a wide variety of issues. The present collection attempts to provide readers with an understanding of the important developments, methodologies, and points of view in the ongoing debate. Both current essays and some older, classic essays that have shaped the larger debate are included. Ten are newly translated into English. Each essay is prefaced by a detailed foreword by one of the editors that summarizes and places the essay in its appropriate context, making the volume ideal for use in seminars or courses, as well as for individuals wishing to become familiar with the state of discussion on the Deuteronomistic History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: The Theory of a Deuteronomistic History and Its Refinements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Central Theological Ideas - Martin Noth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeech and Prayer in the Deuteronomistic and the Chronicler’s Histories - Otto Ploger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Histories’ and ‘History’: Promise and Fulfillment in the Deuteronomistic Historical Work - Helga Weippert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kerygma of the Deuteronomistic Historical Work - Hans Walter Wolff\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Themes of the Book of Kings and the Structure of the Deuteronomistic History - Frank Moore Cross\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Law and the Nations: A Contribution to Deuteronomistic Tradition History - Rudolf Smend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2: Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeuteronomy in Search of Origins - Thomas Romer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Succession of Joshua - J.
