Summary
Editors embedded a historiography of the events surrounding Judah's downfall into the Book of the Twelve in the Persian Era. Kipp Swinney argues that editors of the Twelve used the motifs of the divine warrior, Chaoskampf , and theophany in the Persian era to recast history with Yahweh at the center.
