Abstract: This paper investigates the possibility of extending the insights of Gerhard von Rad into the redactional and compositional activity of the Deuteronomic Historian in I-II Kings to what some scholars are now terming the "Primary History" (Freedman 1962.1963 .1987; Blenkinsopp 1992) that comprises from Genesis through to 2 Kings. Gerhard von Rad first published his paper "The Deuteronomic Theology of History in I and II Kings" in his Deuteronomium-Studien, Part B, Forschungen zur Religion und Literatur des Alten und Neuen Testaments, (New Series, vol XL, GottingenI947)52-64. For the limited purposes of this short study we shall be using the translation of this article printed in The Problem oj the Hexateuch and other essays, (SCM Press; LondonI984)205-221. We should note though that this translation was produced and printed for the first time in 1966 by Oliver and Boyd.

Both of these terms, 'theology' and 'public discourse' , first need to be clarified. Let us begin with 'theology'.
