Book Synopsis Josiah's Reform and the Dynamics of Defilement by : Lauren A. S. Monroe
Book excerpt: 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.
