The Origin Of The Pentateuch (1912)

The Origin of the Pentateuch is a scholarly work by Harold Marcus Wiener, first published in 1912. The book explores the origins of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Pentateuch or Torah. Wiener analyzes the various theories about the authorship and composition of the Pentateuch, including the Documentary Hypothesis, which suggests that the text was written by multiple authors over a period of time. He also examines the historical and cultural context in which the Pentateuch was written, including the influence of surrounding cultures and the political and religious climate of ancient Israel. Wiener's work is a comprehensive and detailed study of the Pentateuch, providing valuable insights into the origins of one of the most important texts in the Abrahamic religions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
