The elusive Yahwist : a short history of research / The so-called Yahwist and the literary gap between Genesis and Exodus / The Jacob story and the beginning of the formation of the Pentateuch / The transition between the books of Genesis and Exodus / The literary connection between the books of Genesis and Exodus and the end of the book of Joshua / The commission of Moses and the book of Genesis / The Yahwist and the redactional link between Genesis and Exodus / The report of the Yahwist's demise has been greatly exaggerated! / What is required to identify pre-priestly narrative connections between Genesis and Exodus? : some general reflections and specific cases / Thomas Christian Römer -- Konrad Schmid -- Albert de Pury -- Jan Christian Gertz -- Erhard Blum -- Thomas B. Dozeman -- Christoph Levin -- John Van Seters -- David M. Carr.
Since the "assured results" of scholarship are rarely certain, it should come as no surprise that the classical formulation of the Documentary Hypothesis has yet again been called into question. However, many North American scholars are unfamiliar with the work of a new generation of European scholars who are advancing an alternate view of the compositional history of the Pentateuch. A growing consensus in Europe argues that the larger blocks of pentateuchal tradition, especially the stories of the patriarchs and Moses, were not redactionally linked before the Priestly Code, as the J hypothesis suggests, but existed side by side as two independent, rival myths of Israel's origins. This volume makes available both the most recent European scholarship on the Pentateuch and its critical discussion. --From publisher's description.
