Linville argues that a new approach to the book of Kings is needed because of the failings of the usual historical-critical methods. He adopts a holistic approach which sees the book as a Persian-era text intended to articulate politically and religiously significant symbols within the book's monarchic history.

Rival versions of Israelite heritage are reconciled under an overarching sense of a greater Israelite history and identity. Less
