- Synopsis
- This book presents a test case for diachronic and synchronicapproaches in Joshua 3-4.Lee introduces the synchronic readings of Polzin, Hawk andWinther-Nielsen, as well as their attempts to uncover the problems in applyingtheir methods to this complicated text. He then investigates the differencesbetween the MT and the LXX of Joshua 3-4 through text critical analysis andreconstructs the Hebrew Vorlage of LXX - Joshua 3-4 considering divergencesbetween major Greek editions; and examines the limitations of Polzin'ssynchronic study in reading only from the final text of the MT. For the purposeof reading the literary history of Joshua 3-4 in a diachronic way, Leeconsiders what position this text holds in the setting of the wider context ofthe ark narratives and water-crossing stories in the Old Testament, e.g. thecrossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 13.17-14.31 and with Elijah and Elishacrossing the river in 2 kings 2. He examines the recent trends in literarycriticism and attempts to trace the most probable literary history of Joshua3-4.
