Davies outlines the composition and date of Numbers, and the
various attempts that have been made to establish a coherent and
meaningful structure in its arrangement. Davies also shows how the
application of reader-response criticism, feminist criticism and
postcolonial criticism have contributed to our understanding of
selected passages in the book. Addressing theological issues,
Davies considers three themes that occupy much of the content of
Numbers, namely; land, purity and holiness, and rebellion. The
concluding chapter considers the contentious issue of the
historicity of the book of Numbers in the light of recent
discussions concerning the historical value of the Old Testament.
Davies shows how some of the issues Numbers raises - war, disease,
survival, hunger, race relations - are among the perennial problems
faced by nations across the centuries and across cultures. While
individual passages within Numbers may reflect a questionable sense
of morality, Davies demonstrates that the book, when viewed in its
totality, encompasses a number of important theological themes
which recur throughout the Old Testament: the interplay of
forgiveness and judgment, and of sin and punishment, and the need
to trust in the power of God rather than human might.
