About the Book

For many years, the historical-critical quest for a reconstruction of the origin(s) and development of the Pentateuch or Hexateuch has been dominated by the documentary hypothesis, the heuristic power of which has produced a consensus so strong that an interpreter who did not operate within its framework was hardly regarded as a scholar. However, the relentless march of research on this topic has continued to yield new and refined analyses, data, methodological tools, and criticism. In this spirit, the contributions to this volume investigate new ideas about the composition of the Pentateuch arising from careful analysis of the biblical text against its ancient Near Eastern background. Covering a wide spectrum of topics and diverging perspectives, the chapters in this book are grouped into two parts. The first is primarily concerned with the history of scholarship and alternative approaches to the development of the Pentateuch. The second focuses on the exegesis of particular texts relevant to the composition of the Torah. The aim of the project is to foster investigation and collegial dialogue in a spirit of humility and frankness, without imposing uniformity. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Tiago Arrais, Richard E. Averbeck, John S. Bergsma, Joshua A. Berman, Daniel I. Block, Richard Davidson, Roy E. Gane, Duane A. Garrett, Richard S. Hess, Benjamin Kilchör, Michael LeFebvre, Jiří Moskala, and Christian Vogel.

Review :
“This volume challenges readers to think outside the box.” —T. Desmond Alexander Journal for the Study of the Old Testament “A very useful volume. The chapters are well written, well researched, and well documented. They also cohere fairly well, especially for a volume of collected essays. The bibliography is broad and deep, with scholars from a wide variety of perspectives included.” —Christopher A. Rollston Review of Biblical Literature “Exploring the Composition of the Pentateuch aims to recast the discussion of pentateuchal sources in light of the Bible’s own claims regarding its origins and authorship. Although the individual authors do not arrive at a consensus position regarding the best solution, they all agree that the current state of pentateuchal source criticism is in need of a fresh critique.” —Kyle Greenwood, author of Scripture and Cosmology: Reading the Bible Between the Ancient World and Modern Science
