More about the book

Gnuse defends the existence of the Elohist source in the Pentateuch, countering scholarly critics by isolating relevant texts and providing a theological assessment. He draws parallels between biblical dream reports and ancient Near Eastern texts, suggesting that prophetic narratives from Samuel and Kings inspired the Elohist narratives. Positioned in the seventh century BCE, after Israel's fall, these texts reflect themes of devotion, hope, and obedience, addressing the exiled northern state. Gnuse also explores their relevance for contemporary readers.
