The present volume contains a collection of articles from an international conference in Zurich that brought together leading voices from North America, Europe, and Israel to evaluate the present state of research on the composition of the Pentateuch. The aim of the conference was to clarify differences in methodology and to identify points of convergence in the present state of pentateuchal research as a basis for further discussion.
The essays in this volume provide important insights about the way toward a better understanding of the Pentateuch’s literary development. Angela Roskop Erisman in Journal of the American Oriental Society 133.3 (2013), p. 551-553
