Deuteronomy's command to restrict cultic practice to one "chosen
place" has occupied a central position in scholars' understandings of
the book and their reconstruction of Israelite political and religious
history. The debates about the date of Deuteronomy, its proposed
connections to "Josiah's reform", and, most profoundly, the
"Deuteronomistic History (DH) hypothesis" have dominated study of the
idea of "chosen place". These debates have, to a large extent,
determined how we read Deuteronomy and the Former Prophets in general.
Through a reading of key texts from these corpora, this book provides
a new, textually grounded, perspective of the "chosen place."
