Rethinking the Pentateuch: Prolegomena to the Theology of Ancient Israel

By Antony F. Campbell, Mark A. O'Brien OP, Mark A. O'Brien

Scholars have long attempted to explain how the Pentateuch was put together. According to the predominant theory--the documentary hypothesis--the material in these books, which varies in historical and theological points of view, came from four hypothetical sources designated as J, E, D, and P. Answering the increasing scholarly call to rethink this theory, Antony Campbell and Mark O'Brien offer a revolutionary explanation for the development of plurality and multiplicity within the text.
