Summary:

"What was the relationship between the Pentateuch and the (so-called) Deuteronomistic History and how did these texts function as a corpus? What were the interconnections among these texts and those of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah? In this volume, leading voices come together to tackle questions about the composition and formation of the Hebrew Bible and the future directions of such studies in honor of Gary N. Knoppers."
