“The authors present in a convenient way the full text of the literary strata and offer detailed and circumspect discussions of the evidence for the various hypotheses. For a rational start in Pentateuchal criticism, this comprehensive work is a must.”
“Consensus about the division and date of the Pentateuchal sources has been lost and will not soon be restored. This book presents the very best product of classical source research, the lifework of Martin Noth, for the first time in a simple, user-friendly format framed by brief, helpful, and extremely sensitive explanations.”
