About this Item

Description:

Hardcover. Bound in green cloth with gilt text on the spine. The Pentateuch: Its Origin and Structure, An Examination of Recent Theories is a book written by Edwin Cone Bissell. The book is an in-depth analysis of the first five books of the Old Testament, also known as the Pentateuch. Bissell examines recent theories about the origin and structure of the Pentateuch and presents his own conclusions based on his research. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the Pentateuch. Bissell begins by discussing the history of the Pentateuch and its role in the Jewish and Christian traditions. He then delves into the various theories about the authorship of the Pentateuch, including the Documentary Hypothesis and the Fragmentary Hypothesis. Bissell also examines the structure of the Pentateuch, including its use of repetition and parallelism. He discusses the various themes and motifs that run throughout the Pentateuch, such as the covenant between God and his people, the idea of sacrifice and atonement, and the concept of the Promised Land. Throughout the book, Bissell draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical scholarship, archaeology, and ancient Near Eastern literature. He presents his arguments in a clear and concise manner, making the book accessible to both scholars and lay readers. 484pp.CONDITION: Heavy edge wear and rubbing. Occasional underlining in pencil, text remains clear. Binding and text block are sound. Full refund if not satisfied. Seller Inventory # 073601

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and controversial subject of Pentateuchal criticism, a field of study that has challenged traditional understandings of the authorship and origins of the first five books of the Bible. The author engages directly with the influential theories of German scholars, presenting their arguments in detail and offering a counter-argument based on his own extensive research and analysis. The book's central theme is the debate surrounding the authorship of the Pentateuch, exploring the prevailing views of the time which attribute it to a diverse group of writers, often centuries after the time of Moses. The author's approach is deeply rooted in the text itself, meticulously examining the biblical laws and their internal relationships. He challenges the prevailing theories by demonstrating inconsistencies within the proposed document analysis and arguing for a more traditional view of Mosaic authorship. The book is both a comprehensive study of the Pentateuch and a compelling defense of its traditional view. The author's insightful analysis offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical and literary intricacies of this foundational text. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331857273_0

Hardcover. Reprint. iv, [1], 484 p.; 21 cm. Literature of the Pentateuch, p. [410]-75; indexes: scripture texts, general, p. [476]-84 From the preface: `The good sense of the reader may be trusted not to draw two quite unwarrantable inferences from this book. First, because the author finds the so-called traditional view of the origin and structure of the Pentateuch much better supported than the one now most widely current in Germany, that therefore he beguiles himself with the illustion that there are no serious difficulties in it still remaining to be solved. And, second, because he is forced to reject as erroneous, not only the general conclusions, but also many of the logical methods, of Wellhausen, and the class of critics he represents, that therefore he does not approve of biblical criticism when properly conducted. But if there be great undiscovered secrets in the Bible, they must surely be one in essence with the secret of the earth and of man: a secret of the Lord which will be disclosed to them that fear Him.'
