Abstract:
This article reviews two monographs on the literary presentation of the distribution of the Promised Land, as described in Joshua 13-19 from the angle of the epistemic status of arguments for literary and redaction criticism. Both studies turn out to be excellent examples in making detailed observations and building them into a consistent view of the texts under discussion. At the same time, both monographs make it clear that controversial assumptions play a greater role in the reconstruction of the origin and development of the text, when less external data are available and less reflection is made on the probability of the reconstruction.
