Yahweh and His Clio: Critical Theory and the Historical Criticism of the Hebrew Bible

Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD, romiller{at}msmary.edu

Discussion about the reconstruction of the history of ancient Israel seldom interacts with theoretical literature on the nature of history. Modern attempts to write Israel’s history, however, have been shaped by their theoretical underpinnings for the past two centuries. This essay explores the epistemological underpinnings of the historical criticism of the Hebrew Bible, outlines trends in historiographical theory, and assesses the impact newer theories of intellectual cultural history can have on studies of the history of the social world of ancient Israel.
