The Meaning of the Pentateuch
Wer noch ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für begeisterte Leser der 5 Bücher Mose sucht, sollte sich:
- John H. Sailhamer: The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition and Interpretation, Inter Varsity, 610 S.
Das Buch ist noch nicht lange auf dem Mark, genießt aber schon einen exzellenten Ruf. Eugene H. Merrill schreibt:
For years John Sailhamer has been pressing toward a comprehensive work on the Pentateuch, preparing the way with such works as his The Pentateuch as Narrative and a host of periodical publications on the subject. At last the magnum opus has appeared under the title The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition and Interpretation. In typical Sailhamer fashion, he has left no stones unturned in any language necessary to get to primary and secondary sources, while at the same time offering fresh insights into the biblical texts and compelling invitations to the reader to view them in more holistic and integrative ways. Careful reading of the book will inevitably call for a reexamination of the issue of the Pentateuch’s antiquity and its deliberate compositional strategy, a reassessment that will help to rehabilitate Torah as not the end product of Judaism but as the foundation of Israelite faith and practice.
