In this book, Graeme Auld brings together his work relating to Samuel and the Former Prophets in an invaluable single volume. Including ‘Prophets through the Looking Glass’, which has been described as marking a paradigm shift in our thinking about the Bible’s ‘writing prophets’, and which led the author to equally novel proposals about biblical narrative, the first part of this volume traces the route through the looking glass to his radical argument in Kings without Privilege (1994). The apparently straightforward, but actually controversial, claim is defended that the main source of the biblical books of Samuel-Kings and of Chronicles was simply the material common to both. The major portion of this volume of collected papers explores some of the fresh perspectives opened for reading the present books of Samuel, the books from Joshua to Kings as a whole, and the Pentateuch.
