Publisher's Synopsis
The Documents of the Hexateuch V2: The Deuteronomical Writers and the Priestly Documents is a scholarly work by William Edward Addis that explores the composition and authorship of the first six books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah or Pentateuch. This second volume focuses specifically on the books of Deuteronomy, Leviticus, and Numbers, which are traditionally attributed to the Deuteronomical writers and the Priestly documents. Addis examines the historical and cultural context in which these texts were written, including the religious and political influences that shaped their content. He also delves into the linguistic and literary features of the texts, including their use of language, style, and structure. Throughout the book, Addis presents a detailed analysis of the various sources and traditions that contributed to the composition of these texts, including the J, E, P, and D sources. He also explores the ways in which these texts were edited and revised over time, and how they came to be regarded as sacred scripture by the Jewish and Christian traditions. Overall, The Documents of the Hexateuch V2 is a comprehensive and insightful study of the origins and development of some of the most important texts in the Western religious tradition. It will be of interest to scholars and students of biblical studies, theology, and ancient history.Two Volumes.
