Jeffrey Stackert addresses two of the oldest and most persistent
problems in biblical studies: the relationship between prophecy and
law in the Hebrew Bible and the utility of the Documentary
Hypothesis for understanding Israelite religion. These topics have
in many ways dominated pentateuchal studies and the investigation
of Israelite religion since the nineteenth century, culminating in
Julius Wellhausens influential Prolegomena to the History of
Ancient Israel. Setting his inquiry against this backdrop while
drawing on and extending recent developments in pentateuchal
theory, Stackert tackles the subject through an investigation of
the different presentations of Mosaic prophecy in the four Torah
sources. His book shows that these texts contain a rich and
longstanding debate over prophecy, its relation to law, and its
place in Israelite religion. With this argument, A Prophet Like
Moses demonstrates a new role for the Documentary Hypothesis in
discussions of Israelite religion. It also provides an opportunity
for critical reflection on the history of the field of biblical
studies. Stackert concludes with an argument for the importance of
situating biblical studies and the study of ancient Israelite
religion within the larger field of religious studies rather than
treating them solely or even primarily as theological disciplines.
