This type of historiography is something I've always wondered about but it's not an area I know much about.

I wonder if there's a list of different "types" of history, so that we can look at them and see what kind of style modern propagandists like David Barton are using, and critique from that direction.

And in Genesis we get things that might not be history but maybe are closer to pre-linguistics, pre-cosmology. Where do place names come from? Where does pain come from? Where does the universe come from? How did our forefathers come together to make Israel?

I can think of jeremiads, common in religious groups in the early American colonies. They praise the righteous and serve as a history to aspire to.

What about the "prophetic critique", where in books like Isiah the author is writing after the events have happened, and inject a prophet to discourse on the events and injustices of that period.

There's the first historian, Heroditus. We can put him in maybe an "ancient history" context.
