Reason and Mystery in the Pentateuch

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The present study by Aaron Streiter is a remarkable piece of scholarly research. Given his traditionalist premise that the Pentateuch is 'the law given to Moses at Sinai,' many readers might be pre-disposed to shy away. But this would be a major error, because Streiter is a remarkably sensitive, highly erudite, and exceedingly perceptive reader who calls to attention an extensive series of ambiguous puzzles and paradoxes in the Hebrew texts that he analyses in instructive detail. Throughout this study he raises complex and difficult hermeneutical questions that must be confronted by all readers, traditionalist and non-traditionalist alike.”
