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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRannfrid Thelle\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar working in Wichita, Kansas.
