There is general agreement in the field of Biblical studies that
study of the formation of the Pentateuch is in disarray. David M.
Carr turns to the Genesis Primeval History, Genesis 1-11, to offer
models for the formation of Pentateuchal texts that may have
traction within this fractious context. Building on two centuries
of historical study of Genesis 1-11, this book provides new support
for the older theory that the bulk of Genesis 1-11 was created out
of a combination of two originally separate source strata: a
Priestly source and an earlier non-Priestly source that was used to
supplement the Priestly framework. Though this overall approach
contradicts some recent attempts to replace such source models with
theories of post-Priestly scribal expansion, Carr does find
evidence of multiple layers of scribal revision in the non-P and P
sources, from the expansion of an early independent non-Priestly
primeval history with a flood narrative and related materials to a
limited set of identifiable layers of Priestly material that
culminate in the P-like redaction of the whole. This book
synthesizes prior scholarship to show how both the P and
non-Priestly strata of Genesis also emerged out of a complex
interaction by Judean scribes with non-biblical literary
traditions, particularly with Mesopotamian textual traditions about
primeval origins. The Formation of Genesis 1-11 makes a significant
contribution to scholarship on one of the most important texts in
the Hebrew Bible and will influence models for the formation of the
Hebrew Bible as a whole.
