Van der Toorn

"Scribal Culture": there were no authors (at least not by the modern definition). Scribes wrote for other scribes. the word for reading meant "to cry aloud" oral culture.

Davies
|
"In Search of Ancient Israel": Ancient Israel probably didn't exist in any historical sense, it is merely a literary construct. Geneological histories, not chronological ones. Bible written during Perisan/Hellenistic period, post-exile (would they carry all these heavy scrolls all the way to Babylon?). Ancient "Israeli" history has displaced real ancient palestinian history.

Finkelstein and Silberman
|
"The Bible Unearthed": Deuteronomy has been thought to be the book discovered in the temple in 2 Kings. But it was probably written just before Josiah's reforms (622-621 BCE) as support for them (the reforms). agree with Davies about the revisions/edits during the persian/hellenistic periods

"Her Master's Tools?"

Douglas
|
"The Go Away Goat". Tries to analyze the ritual of the sacrifice (where they send the goat into the wilderness) in context. Relates the pair of goats to other pairs in the bible, (after Cain and Abel)
One big flaw in this is that Douglas fails to take into account the Documentary hypothesis- though she is not a source critic, youd think she would at least address the fact that there are multiple sources in the pentateuch. |

Sweeney
|
Form Criticism: Deals with smaller units of text, seeks to extrapolate meaning from these small units across the larger body of work. Sitz in Leiben- how did these units function? how does the method=meaning?
• In reading, notice: o Repetition o Use of visual imagery to bring the content to life o Religiosity: How is the LORD characterized? Human0God relationship? |
