Hardback. Condición: Good. In this bold and illuminating new work, Richard Elliott Friedman probes a chain of mysteries that concern the presence or absence of God. He begins with a fresh, insightful reading of the Hebrew Bible, revealing the profound mystery and significance of the disappearance of God there. Why does the God who is known through miracles and direct interaction at the beginning of the Bible gradually become hidden, leaving humans on their own by the Bible's end? How is it possible that the Bible, written over so many centuries by so many authors, depicts this diminishing visible presence of God - and the growing up of humankind - so consistently? Why has this not been common knowledge? Friedman then investigates this phenomenon's place in the formation of Judaism and Christianity.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. "It is a strange fact that we have never known with certainty who produced the book that has played such a central role in our civilization," writes Richard E. Friedman, a leading Bible scholar. From this point he begins an investigation and analysis that reads as compellingly as a detective story. Focusing on the central books of the Old Testament-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy-Friedman draws upon biblical and archaeological evidence to make a convincing argument for the identities of their authors. In the process, he paints a vivid picture of the world of the Bible-its politics, history, and personalities. The result is a marvel of scholarship that sheds a new and enriching light on our understanding of the Bible as literature, history, and sacred text. Who Wrote the Bible? is enlightening, riveting, and an important contribution to religious literature. Richard Elliot Friedman is a biblical scholar and the Ann and Jay Davis Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Georgia. He previously held the Katzin Chair at the University of California, San Diego. Friedman earned his doctorate at Harvard and was a visiting scholar at Oxford and Cambridge. He is the author of numerous books, including The Hidden Face of God, Commentary on the Torah, and The Bible with Sources Revealed."Brilliantly presented: there is no other book like this one. It may well be unique."-Los Angeles Times.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A much anticipated reissue of Who Wrote the Bible?--the contemporary classic the New York Times Book Review called a thought-provoking and] perceptive guide that identifies the individual writers of the Pentateuch and explains what they can teach us about the origins of the Bible. For thousands of years, the prophet Moses was regarded as the sole author of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. According to tradition, Moses was divinely directed to write down foundational events in the history of the world: the creation of humans, the worldwide flood, the laws as they were handed down at Mt. Sinai, and the cycle of Israel's enslavement and liberation from Egypt. However, these stories--and their frequent discrepancies--provoke questions: why does the first chapter in Genesis say that man and woman were made in God's image, while the second says that woman was made from man's rib? Why does one account of the flood say it lasted forty days, while another records no less than one hundred? And why do some stories reflect the history of southern Judah, while others seem sourced from northern Israel? Originally published in 1987, Richard Friedman's Who Wrote the Bible? joins a host of modern scholars who show that the Pentateuch was written by at least four distinct voices--separated by borders, political alliances, and particular moments in history--then connected by brilliant editors. Rather than cast doubt onto the legitimacy of the Bible, Friedman uses these divergent accounts to illuminate a text that was written by real people. Friedman's seminal and bestselling text is a comprehensive and authoritative answer to the question: just who exactly wrote the Bible.…
