Josiah's Reform and the Dynamics of Defilement: Israelite Rites of Violence and the Making of a Biblical Text
Monroe, Lauren A. S. (Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel, Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel, Cornell University)
Lauren Monroe argues that the use of cultic and ritual language in the account of the Judean King Josiah's reforms in 2 Kings 22-23 is key to understanding the history of the text's composition, and illuminates the essential, interrelated processes of textual growth and identity construction in ancient Israel.
