The Documentary Hypothesis: And the Composition of the Pentateuch

Front Cover
Shalem Press, 2005 - Religion - 142 pages
Although originally published more than 50 years ago, The Documentary Hypothesis remains a classic in the field of biblical studies. Summary in form and popular in presentation, it provides a masterful exposition of the documentary hypothesis and subjects its exegetical methods and conclusions to a critical review. Based on a comparison of the Pentateuch to ancient Near Eastern literature, an investigation of Hebrew grammatical structures, and brilliant literary analysis, Cassuto argues for the integrity of the biblical text.
