Renowned Hebrew Bible scholar Konrad Schmid here provides a comprehensive discussion of the task, history, and conditions of the history of Old Testament literature. He carefully considers the dynamics of language, orality, literacy, and the range of social and political conditions that shaped Israel's writing at each period of the people's history and explores the significance of the transformation of various writings into "Scripture" and a biblical canon.
Konrad Schmid is Professor of Old Testament Studies and Jewish History at the University of Zurich and an author or editor of numerous books in Old Testament interpretation including, with T. Dozeman, A Farewell to the Yahwist? The Composition of the Pentateuch in Recent European Interpretation (2006).
