More about the book

Focusing on the formation of the Pentateuch, this collection features thirty-one studies by Konrad Schmid, reflecting over two decades of research. Schmid argues for the existence of a Persian period Priestly document that serves as a foundational narrative for the Torah, while also highlighting distinct, pre-Priestly narrative elements in Genesis and the story of Moses. His essays advocate for a re-evaluation of traditional views on the composition of these biblical texts.
