Reconstructing the Temple

Davis draws on the royal literature of the seventh and sixth centuries BCE for main evidence of this rhetoric. Furthermore, he argues for reading the story of Jeroboam I's placement of calves at Dan and Bethel (1 Kgs 12:25-33) as an eighth-century BCE account of temple renovation with a similar rhetoric. Concluding with further examples in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Reconstructing the Temple demonstrates that the rhetoric of temple renovation was a distinct and longstanding topic in the ancient Near East.
Andrew R. Davis is associate professor of Old Testament at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. His first book, which was a revision of the dissertation he wrote at Johns Hopkins University, compared the temple complex at Tel Dan to biblical descriptions of worship in the Northern Kingdom. Davis's other main research interest involves literary approaches to biblical texts, which he has explored in articles on the books of Genesis, Ruth, and Job, and is pursuing in a new project on the book of Amos.
