Rather than focus on the history behind the text, Sailhamer is convinced that it is the text itself that should be our primary focus. Along the way he demonstrates that this was in fact the focus of many interpreters in the precritical era. --from publisher description.  aDescription based on print version record.00aBible.pPentateuchxCriticism, interpretation, etc. 7aRELIGION / Biblical Studies / Old Testament2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aSailhamer, John.tMeaning of the Pentateuch.dDowners Grove, Ill. : IVP Academic, ©2009z0830878882w(DLC)  2009026590w(OCoLC)424558146403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=631758  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn11079188  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn631758  acpp3089  a02bN$T  c53723d53723
