Synopsis

'Whybray's recent book is a masterful review of all the options set out by critical scholarship since Wellhausen, i.e., over the last century. It is an exhaustive and up to date treatment, concise and highly readable.' E.

Essential for all concerned with fundamentals of critical biblical studies.' W. Lee Humphreys, Religious Studies Review
