The promise of land and progeny to the patriarchs-Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob-is a central, recurring feature of the Pentateuch. From
the beginning of the story of Abraham to the last moment of Moses's
life, this promise forms the guiding theological statement for each
narrative. Yet literary and historical inquiries ascribe the
promise texts to a variety of sources, layers, and redactions,
raising questions about how the promise functioned in its original
manifestations and how it can be used to understand the formation
of the Pentateuch as a whole. Joel S. Baden reexamines the
patriarchal promise in its historical and contemporaneous contexts,
evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of both final-form and
literary-historical approaches to the promise. He pays close
attention to the methodologies employed in both documentary and
non-documentary analyses and aims to bring source-critical analysis
of the promise to bear on the understanding of the canonical text
for contemporary readers. The Promise to the Patriarchs addresses
the question of how the literary-historical perspective can
illuminate and even deepen the theological meaning of the
Pentateuch, particularly of the promise at the heart of this
central biblical corpus.
