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, providing a helpful resource and fostering further dialogue between North American and European interpreters.

instead buy van Seters' The Edited Bible

Unfortunately I had read van Seters' The Edited Bible before buying this book. I give this book 2 stars for "negative research", ie reading the principal articles in this book demonstrates the interminable complexity of 'European??' approaches to the history of the OT. van Seters' response (in this book) ends by recommending his own The Edited Bible (published the year after this book) which demonstrates his stellar scholarship, integrity, creativity, and readability. I enjoy the breadth of scholarship (and the quiet humor) in all his books.
