Utilizing all available and reliable evidence, they establish not only regnal years for all the rulers but also specific dates for numerous events in Israelite and Judean history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn their opening chapters, the authors explain the scheme of chronological reckoning found in the books of 1-2 Kings. Their calculations are then computed without recourse to shifting understandings of the methods of reckoning or to a theory of co-regencies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe value of this work is not limited to purely chronological matters. Its implications extend to the dating of biblical sources such as the Book of the Covenant, D, P, and the Deuteronomistic History. The volume also provides insights into the socio-cultic life of biblical times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48357861261552,"sku":"9781556354854","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781556354854_p0.jpg?v=1764624847","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781556354854","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
