Synopsis: A group of authors led by Shaphan, King Josiah's
secretary, wrote some three hundred chapters of
Scripture--one-third of the Hebrew Bible. For the first time ever,
we can learn the names of those who composed Joshua, Isaiah,
Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Songs, Daniel, and half the Minor Prophets.
(Probabilities throughout the book strongly support these
findings.) Moreover, those authors together constitute Dtr, the
long-sought editors of Deuteronomy through Second Kings. One of the
most important discoveries of The Shaphan Group is that Huldah the
prophetess signed many chapters of Hebrew Scripture. Judged from
her use of coded writing, Huldah was arguably the most accomplished
writer among the group's fifteen authors. She was joined by the
Priestly Source and Second Isaiah (both of whom are named), as well
as others--unrecognized until now--who risked their lives to shape
the Hebrew Bible. The Shaphan Group offers students of whatever
age, not only a book full of discoveries, but also a new way to
approach Holy Scripture. Endorsement: "In The Shaphan Group, his
third book on the subject, Kavanagh offers up another provocative
exploration of coding within the Tanakh. There is much here that
will inform new understandings of biblical texts and confound
conventional scholars. Reading Kavanagh is always an exciting and
illuminating experience." -Jeff Levin Institute for Studies of
Religion, Baylor University Editor of Divine Love: Perspectives
from the World's Religious Traditions Author Biography: Twenty-four
years ago, Preston Kavanagh retired from an executive position in a
large company in order to seek the identities of those who wrote
the Hebrew Bible. The Shaphan Group discusses what he found, as do
his two prior books--Secrets of the Jewish Exile (2005) and The
Exilic Code (Pickwick Publications, 2009). He and his wife, Lois,
live quietly in Maryland.
