Synopsis

This book reexamines one of the most widely accepted premises of modern scholarship: that the first five books of the Bible, known as The Pentateuch, were not written by Moses but are a compilation of disparate documents. Focusing on the first book of the Pentateuch, Genesis, this meticulously detailed and compelling book presents evidence that Genesis, and indeed the entire Pentateuch, constitutes the definitive work of a single author. Making his rigorous case line-by-line, the author gives keen attention to the precision of the text, demonstrating that it is not a patchwork of sources but rather a continuous narrative with its parts closely interwoven. Complex questions of vocabulary, language usage, style, and cultural context are explored, and overarching themes are teased out, revealing a common plan and purpose running throughout the text. This groundbreaking work provides a robust defense of the integrity and authorship of an ancient religious text that has faced increasing skepticism in recent years.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
