The Legislative Themes of Centralization

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In The Legislative Themes of Centralization, Audirsch examines five legislative themes related to the centralization of the cult in Deuteronomy 12-18 using an integrated methodology that does justice to both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. These themes include: the abrogation of idolatry, tithing, the Passover and festive calendar, judiciary officials, and the priesthood. I highly recommend Audirsch's work to any scholar interested in the Enneateuch, in general, and the book of Deuteronomy, in particular.”
