"In this magisterial overview of the Pentateuch John Van Seters reviews the various
historical-critical attempts to read it that arise from notions about the social evolution
of Israel's religion and culture. Is the Pentateuch an accumulation of folk traditions,
a work of ancient historiography, a document legitimizing religious reform? In dialogue
with competing views, Van Seters advocates a compositional model that recognizes the
social and historical diversity of the literary strata. Van Seters argues that a proto-Pentateuchal
author created a comprehensive history from Genesis to Numbers that was written as
a prologue to the Deuteronomistic History (Deuteronomy to 2 Kings) in the exilic period
and later expanded by a Priestly writer to make it the foundational document of the
Jerusalem temple community. This social-science commentary on the Pentateuch is renowned
as one of the most influential volumes on this group of texts. For the new edition
Van Seters has revised several sections of the text, updating and integrating new
bibliographical items, and refining the text where necessary. A reflective preface
summarizes these changes and developments for the reader's convenience"
