This is a major study on the book of Deuteronomy by an acclaimed expert in the field.Paying particular attention to the legal passages in Deuteronomy, Professor RofT seeks to clarify the contents and unity of each section, its literary history, the origin of the single laws and their relation to other kindred laws in other documents of the Pentateuch.Bringing together different methods of biblical study - traditional Jewish interpretation, classical biblical criticism, form criticism, history of tradition and textual criticism - the author argues that the roots of Deuteronomy lie in monarchial Israel and Judah, that the literary climax belongs to the seventh century BCE, and that the final stages of the text are exilic and early post-exilic.

This introduction to prophetic literature summarises issues crucial to this segment of the Hebrew Bible, including questions as to what stands between modern readers and their understanding of the prophetic books.

Introduction to the Prophetic Literature (The Biblical Seminar, 49)

UNKNO

This is an introduction for beginners in biblical studies and for those who want to learn what scholars are able to discover about the origins and history of the books of Genesis-Deuteronomy. It explains anew why the tradition of Mosaic authorship of the Torah is untenable, how the distinct documents of the Pentateuch were identified and dated, what flaws can be detected in the Documentary Hypothesis and what contribution is made by more recent methods in explaining the history of the Torah. The book does not merely present the conclusions of modern research, but endeavours to demonstrate the validity of historical-literary criticism.

Students and scholars in the field of biblical studies will be familiar with numerous Introductions presenting the Hebrew Bible from a wide range of perspectives and methodologies. One may therefore wonder whether there is any need for yet another Introduction such as the one presented here. It goes without saying that the present book shares many things with previous Introductions; at the same time, its aim, scope, and source of inspiration are very different from those of for the standard Introductions, and I believe that these new aspects not only justify its publication but will also make it attractive to a quite varied readership.
