About this title

Synopsis:

This volume contains the five papers read at a symposium held in Leiden on 10 December 1991 on the occasion of the centenary of Abraham Kuenen's death, together with four other articles. Following an introductory essay offering a short biography of Kuenen, the book looks at his method, his approach to the religion of ancient Israel, and the reception of his work on the Pentateuch and later developments in various countries. Together, these papers highlight the significance of this great Old Testament scholar, and at the same time identify issues which continue to confront Old Testament research. Though the wide variety of new approaches to the Old Testament has contributed greatly to our understanding of it, it is clear that historical research has not thereby been rendered obsolete or superfluous.
