Viac o knihe

The book explores the portrayal of Judah's last major king, Josiah, in biblical texts and their influence on subsequent cultures. It argues that no reliable material from Josiah's time exists, suggesting that the accounts in Kings, Chronicles, and First Esdras reflect a creative interpretation of his reign rather than factual history. Additionally, it examines how these narratives have shaped historiographical views of world history and have been represented in various artistic forms, highlighting the complexities of memory and narrative construction.
