This is an introduction to the narrative books of the Old Testament
(Genesis to Nehemiah), explaining their sources and the nature of
their composition. Setting aside speculative elements of recent
studies to establish an entirely scholarly, factual basis for
students in the field, this text is clear and readable - and no
knowledge of Hebrew is presupposed. Reinhard Kratz explains the
sources of the books and the nature of their composition. He seeks
to do this as far as possible without presupposing any hypotheses
and on the basis of a few undisputed basic assumptions: a
distinction between Priestly and non-Priestly text in the
Pentateuch, the special position of Deuteronomy, a Deuteronomistic
revision of Joshua - 2 Kings, and the literary use of the books of
Samuel and Kings by Chronicles. Any further distinctions are based
on observations of the text which are well-established and not on
literary or redaction-critical distinctions. Kratz argues that what
is important is how the text is read.
