The Scribes of the Torah

More about the book

Focusing on the formation of the Pentateuch, this collection showcases Konrad Schmid's extensive research over two decades. It argues for the existence of a Priestly document from the Persian period that serves as a foundational narrative for the Torah, while also highlighting distinct, pre-Priestly elements within the Genesis narratives and the story of Moses. Schmid’s essays provide a compelling new perspective on the complexities of the Torah's composition.
