The Scribes of the Torah

Focusing on the formation of the Pentateuch, this collection showcases Konrad Schmid's extensive research over two decades. It argues for the existence of a Priestly document from the Persian period that serves as a foundational narrative for the Torah, while also highlighting distinct, pre-Priestly elements within the Genesis narratives and the story of Moses. Schmid’s essays provide a compelling new perspective on the complexities of the Torah's composition.
