Final answer:
The correct answer is option C) The Historical Books.
Step-by-step explanation:
The collection of books from Genesis to Kings is often referred to by scholars as the Deuteronomistic history. This term was coined by the scholar Martin Noth to describe the narrative that runs through these books, which are traditionally believed to have been written or compiled during the monarchy of King Josiah of Judah in the 7th century BCE. These scriptures align with the principle of monotheism and reflect the Yahwist religious reforms. They serve as a religious and moral explanation for the events in the lives of the Israelites and their relationship with Yahweh.
The books of Genesis to Kings contain stories that have parallels in other ancient Near Eastern cultures, such as the Mesopotamian stories of Sargon the Great and the Epic of Gilgamesh. However, while the motivations of the gods in Mesopotamian literature are depicted as capricious, the God of the Hebrew people, Yahweh, is portrayed as having a covenant with humanity that is rooted in morality and justice.
