Van Seters, John

The Yahwist A historian of Israelite origins John Van Seters - U.S.A. Eisenbrauns 2013 - 380tr. Hardcover, illustrations 24cm

This book on the Yahwist comes at the end of a long career of research on the Pentateuch in general and the Yahwist in particular... In this book, Van Seters seeks to provide a summary sketch of the J history and to make clear how the Priestly corpus has been composed as a supplement to the Yahwist with a radically different form and point of view that has obscured the Yahwist's historical narrative and theological perspective. Part one lays out in simple terms the basic form, structure, and theological perspective of the Yahwist's history,... The essays in part two are intended to bring the scholarly discussion of Van Seters's earlier books on the Yahwist more up to date, and their order corresponds roughly to the order of the narrative in the first part of the book....
