This work examines recent developments in the study of the child in antiquity. By gathering data from the ancient Near East to delineate the stages of a child's life, Flynn depicts the role of children in biblical texts.
Using the methodology of cultural translation, Flynn studies change in YHWH's kingship and situates that change in the Neo-Assyrian period. Judahite scribes changed the theology of YHWH's kingship, from warrior king to creator king, likely in reference to Marduk's kingship in Babylon.
