  Traces the narrative of the exilic author of the Deuteronomistic History , a narrative that provides an explanation for the trauma that the Judean community in Babylon suffered. This book argues that we can trace a single, coherent narrative throughout the History that is an attempt to explain to its original readers why the exile occurred.
