"It is a humbling experience to read this book and see the range of
materials this scholar has interacted with, the big questions he
has pursued doggedly during his outstanding career, and how he has
followed his instincts and not shied away from controversy. The
breadth and range of his knowledge and his understanding is truly
inspiring." - Review of Biblical Literature This volume contains a
collection of articles written over a 40 year period, from 1964
onwards. They are revisionist in character and address major issues
in the understanding of Israelite and Judean history, the
literary-critical analysis of the Pentateuch and historical books,
and the nature of biblical religion. The historical studies were
among the first to raise serious questions with the prevailing
understanding of the patriarchal age, the accounts of the exodus
from Egypt and the conquest of Canaan, and the temple of Solomon.
The literary studies of the Pentateuch challenged both the
classical Documentary Hypothesis, especially the early dating of J,
and the more recent modifications that support the notion of an
extensive Deuteronomistic redaction of the Pentateuch. Articles on
biblical historiography focus on a late dating of the Court History
of David, the nature of the Deuteronomistic history, and the role
of creative imitation in the composition of biblical narrative. The
final section on Israelite religion and culture views biblical
notions about patriarchal religion, myths of human origin, and the
legendary origins of Passover, within a broad comparative context.
These articles have had a significant impact in the field of
biblical studies.
