Excavating the History of the Bible

Who Was King Josiah?

In the Hebrew Bible, King Josiah launches major religious reforms after the discovery of “the Book of the Law” in the Temple in Jerusalem. This episode will explore the scholarly arguments over what these reforms might have entailed, and how they may have influenced the development of many of the books in the Hebrew Bible (including Joshua, Judges, and Kings).
