Huldah
A:According to 2 Kings, King Hezekia, great grandfather of Josiah attempted to introduce monotheism and centralised worship in the Temple of Jerusalem, possibly as a means of achieving national unity after the fall of Israel and the influx of large numbers of refugees. That attempt failed, and Hezekia's successor, Manasseh, allowed polytheism to return. King Josiah again instituted monotheistic Judaism, based on the worship of the national God, Yahweh. According to 2 Kings, Judah was from that point forward an exclusively monotheistic state, although some scholars say that polytheistic worship continued right up until the time of the Babylonian Exile. A minority of scholars say that the introduction of monotheism did not take place during the reign of Josiah, but that it really happened during the Babylonian Exile and the story of Josiah's achievemnt was written back into 2 Kings. Certalinly there is documentary evidence in the prophetic books of polytheism surviving until at least the Exile.The Bible describes how a 'book of law', now believed to be the Book of Deuteronomy was found in the Temple during renovations. Scholars believe that Deuteronomy was actually written during Josiah's reign and placed in the Temple to be found and given the appearance of great antiquity. It was this book, given to Josiah by the priests, that led him to introducing wide ranging religious reforms in Judah. The author is anonymous, but is now known as the Deuteronomist. From this, the religious reforms of Josiah are now known as the 'Deuteronomistic reforms'.
Temple
Monotheistic Judaism developed in the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Josiah.
A:Josiah began his reign in 649 BCE. In the eighteenth year, or about 631 BCE, he ordered renovations for the temple in Jerusalem, and it was shortly after that the Book of Deuteronomy, or perhaps an early version of it, was supposedly found in the temple. Scholars believe the priests placed it there, then found it, in order to prove its antiquity. A very similar example of this deception is reported in the Book of Jeremiah some years later.King Josiah made a public show of emotion at finding laws that were not being followed, and began the reforms he is noted for.
No. Deuteronomy is sometimes called to Book of Law, but this was written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, many centuries afer the time attributed to Josiah.
