The Scribes of the Torah: The Formation of the Pentateuch in Its Literary and Historical Contexts (The Ancient Israel and Its Literature, 45)

This collection of thirty-one studies on the Pentateuch represents more than twenty years of Konrad Schmid's research and publications advocating for a new view of the Pentateuch's formation. Schmid's essays present the case for a Persian period Priestly document that provided a basic narrative thread to the Torah that also included separate, pre-Priestly components of narratives in Genesis and the Moses story.
