"[Sweeney] is not afraid to challenge long-held scholarly consensus
and to chart new paths when he feels the text warrants it. Future
discussions of Josiah's vision and reforming efforts will certainly
need to grapple with this study."-- The Catholic Biblical

"Sweeney shows again the importance of the Josianic period for the
history of literature and religion in Judah in a very impressive
way. He correctly show that Deuteronomy was in its substance a
pre-exilic program which became effective in exilic and postexilic
times. Sweeney has written an important book and contribution to
Old Testament scholarship."-- SHOFAR
