The Sources Of The Hexateuch

By Edgar Sheffield Brightman

Book Overview

""The Sources of the Hexateuch"" by Edgar Sheffield Brightman is a comprehensive study of the origins and composition of the first six books of the Hebrew Bible. The Hexateuch, also known as the Pentateuch or Torah, includes Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. The author examines the various theories and hypotheses proposed by scholars throughout history to explain the sources and authorship of these books, including the Documentary Hypothesis, which suggests that the Hexateuch was compiled from multiple sources over a period of centuries. Brightman provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic, literary, and historical evidence used to support these theories, as well as the theological and ethical implications of each. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history and composition of the Hebrew Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
