Here are a trio of related articles published early on in the history of the Interpreter Foundation and of what is now called Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/em>, and which you may easily have missed. \u00a0I call your attention to them in case you\u2019re interested:<\/p>\n

Benjamin L. McGuire, \u201cJosiah\u2019s Reform: An Introduction\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

William J. Hamblin, \u201cVindicating Josiah\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract:\u00a0Margaret Barker has written a number of fascinating books on ancient Israelite and Christian temple theology. One of her main arguments is that the temple reforms of Josiah corrupted the pristine original Israelite temple theology. Josiah\u2019s reforms were therefore, in some sense, an apostasy. According to Barker, early Christianity is based on the pristine, original pre-Josiah form of temple theology. This paper argues that Josiah\u2019s reforms were a necessary correction to contemporary corruption of the Israelite temple rituals and theologies, and that the type of temple apostasy Barker describes is more likely associated with the Hasmoneans.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin Christensen, \u201cProphets and Kings in Lehi\u2019s Jerusalem and Margaret Barker\u2019s Temple Theology\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract:\u00a0King Josiah\u2019s reign has come under increasing focus for its importance to the formation of the Hebrew Bible, and for its proximity to the ministry of important prophets such as Jeremiah and Lehi. Whereas the canonical accounts and conventional scholarship have seen Josiah portrayed as the ideal king, Margaret Barker argues Josiah\u2019s reform was hostile to the temple. This essay offers a counterpoint to Professor Hamblin\u2019s \u201cVindicating Josiah\u201d essay, offering arguments that the Book of Mormon and Barker\u2019s views and sources support one another.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
