Opening Prayer Let Your Scriptures be my chaste delight… O Lord, perfect me, and reveal those pages to me!

The Deuteronomistic History Theory of Martin Noth Origin: Pre-Exilic, Exilic, or Post-Exilic? Purpose Themes

The Deuteronomistic History Dt. 11:26-28 "I set before you here, this day, a blessing and a curse: a blessing for obeying the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I enjoin on you today; a curse if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, but turn aside from the way I ordain for you today, to follow other gods, whom you have not known. "

The Deuteronomistic History II Kings In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, Evilmerodach, king of Babylon, in the inaugural year of his own reign, raised up Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a throne higher than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

The Deuteronomistic History II Kings Jehoiachin took off his prison garb and ate at the king's table as long as he lived. The allowance granted him by the king was a perpetual allowance, in fixed daily amounts, for as long as he lived.

The Deuteronomistic History TEN THEMES OF THE DEUTERONOMISTIC HISTORY (based on M. Weinfeld, Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomic School)

The Deuteronomistic History 1) The struggle against idolatry. Images have no place in deuteronomistic religion, since they tempt their users to worship them. Ideal worship was iconoclastic. 2) One centralized cult. God chose Jerusalem as the place in which worship should take place. Practice of the cult anywhere else would lead to sin, thus all sacrifices should take place in the Temple.

The Deuteronomistic History 3) The election, exodus, conquest themes. God had chosen Abraham, Isaac, and Israel as the holy people. They were led out of Egypt to conquer and destroy the Canaanites. 4) The monotheistic ideal. There was only one God who deserved Israel's worship. Eventually this came to be fully developed monotheism which denied the existence of other gods. For the DH, God was One.

The Deuteronomistic History 5) Observance of the law. God had designated the torah as the correct method of maintaining the divine-human relationship. Keeping the covenant ensured that this relationship would remain operative. 6) The inheritance of the land. The promises to the ancestors included many offspring and a land where they would be able to live. The specific territory outlined in the Deuteronomistic History was a divine gift to Israel.

The Deuteronomistic History 7) Material reward and retribution. Disobedience led to tangible punishment in this world, and obedience was rewarded with material goods and divine blessings. 8) The fulfillment of prophecy. The prophets were divinely chosen mouthpieces. They uttered the words of God and should be obeyed like God. If God declared something was going to happen, it did.

The Deuteronomistic History 9) The election of David and his dynasty. Monarchy was not the ideal, but if Israel had to have a king, it should be a king like David. No other king attained his reputation for a pure relationship with God. The divided monarchy, therefore, was a major sin. 10) Distrust of anything foreign. Foreign spouses would lead Israelites astray, foreign cultic objects would entice them to worship foreign gods. The safest approach to follow was to avoid foreign influence as much as possible.
