Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible: Toward a Refined Literary Criticism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780884145110)

Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible: Toward a Refined Literary Criticism challenges recent discussions and skepticism on the possibility of understanding and reconstructing the diachronic development of the Hebrew Bible. Reinhard M?ler and Juha Pakkala refine the methodologies of literary and redaction criticism through a systematic investigation of the evidence of additions, omissions, replacements, and transpositions that are documented by divergent ancient textual traditions. M?ler and Pakkala's latest collaboration is an essential handbook and practical guide for students and scholars grappling with the historical development of biblical texts.
