Paul Hedley Jones presents a coherent reading of 1 Kings 13 that is
attentive to literary, historical and theological concerns. Beginning
with a summary and evaluation of Karl Barth's overtly theological
exposition of the chapter – as set out in his Church Dogmatics –
Jones explores how this analysis was received and critiqued by Barth's
academic peers, who focused on very different questions, priorities
and methods. By highlighting substantive material in the text for
further investigation, Jones sheds light on a range of hermeneutical
issues that support exegetical work unseen, and additionally provides
a wider scope of opinion into the conversation by reviewing the work
of other scholars whose methods and priorities also diverge from those
of Barth and his contemporaries. After evaluating four additional
in-depth readings of 1 Kings 13, Jones presents a more theoretical
discussion about perceived dichotomies in biblical studies that tend
to surface regularly in methodological debates. This volume culminates
with Jones' original exposition of the chapter, which offers an
interpretation that reads 1 Kings 13 as a narrative analogy, where the
figure of Josiah functions as a hermeneutical key to understanding the
dynamics of the story.
