The Origin of the Pentateuch is a book written by Harold Marcus Wiener and originally published in 1912. The Pentateuch, also known as the Torah, is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and is considered to be the foundation of Jewish law and tradition. In this book, Wiener explores the origins of the Pentateuch and the different theories surrounding its authorship. He examines the traditional view that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, as well as the critical view that it was written by multiple authors over a long period of time.Wiener also delves into the historical and cultural context in which the Pentateuch was written, including the political climate of ancient Israel and the influence of neighboring cultures. He analyzes the language, style, and content of the text to shed light on its origins and development.Overall, The Origin of the Pentateuch is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the origins of one of the most important texts in Judaism and Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
