Building upon the preceding volume, Exploring the Composition of the Pentateuch, Volume 2 seeks to answer these crucial questions:

  • What key research areas demand attention?
  • Where can we confidently draw conclusions?
  • What limits exist within the available evidence?

Part 1 investigates the Pentateuch’s readability, exploring narrative techniques, inconsistencies, and coherence.

Part 2 tackles dating issues in Deuteronomy, including narrative retelling in Deut 1–3, dating via parallels to the Loyalty Oath of Esarhaddon, and deuteronomistic tribal language.

Part 3 focuses on the Pentateuch’s overall dating, discussing empirical models, comparisons with the Hazor Legal Fragments, turning points in Pentateuchal scholarship, dependence between legal materials, and the absence of Zion theology.
