Bøker av David M. (Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible Carr

There is general agreement in the field of Biblical studies that study of the formation of the Pentateuch is in disarray. In this book, David M. Carr turns to the Genesis Primeval History, Genesis 1-11, to offer models for and new insights into the formation of Pentateuchal texts, the most important in the Hebrew Bible.

Explores a model for the production, revision, and reception of Biblical texts as Scripture. Building on the studies of the oral/written interface in medieval and Greco-Roman contexts, this book argues that in ancient Israel, Biblical texts emerged as a support for an educational process in which written and oral dimensions were intertwined.
