Description: "Challenges prevailing models of Pentateuch composition and proposes new approaches. Focusing on coherence, the dating of Deuteronomy, and the Pentateuch's overall dating, the volume argues that an earlier composition date is more plausible than commonly assumed in current scholarship"-- Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes:
"This diverse collection of essays challenges both the status quo and cutting-edge theories in today's Pentateuchal historical critical research. Its essays challenge oft unchallenged presuppositions related to the dating and literary coherence of the Pentateuch, offering a wide assortment of effective arguments engaging its non-Western literary coherence, literary reuse and dependence, ancient scribal and editorial practices, dialectical variation in diachronic linguistics, among other important topics."
