Inconsistency in the Torah: Ancient Literary Convention and the Limits of Source Criticism
Berman, Joshua A. (Senior Lecturer in the Department of Hebrew Bible, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Hebrew Bible, Bar-Ilan University)
Rather than viewing inconsistencies in the Torah as signs of revision, this book identifies precursors for these phenomena in ancient Near Eastern writings. It claims that Enlightenment and German historicist influences corrupted critical study of the Bible, and calls for a return to the more modest agenda set out by Spinoza.
