Excerpt from The Documents of the Hexateuch, Vol. 1: Translated and Arranged in Chronological Order
Sometimes I have had to tread on dangerous ground, and I have not concealed my agreement with the school Of Graf and his eminent disciples, on the whole. At the same time, if I have failed to give the arguments on the other side the weight which is their due, that has arisen from want of power, not from lack Of will. I am unable to follow Dillmann's conclusions, but I have read and re-read his great commentary on the Hexateuch, and always with increasing admiration for its profound and varied learning and its astonishing accuracy.

The author explores the complex origins and composition of these ancient texts, tracing their evolution through meticulous examination of historical data, linguistic nuances, and religious ideologies. The author argues that this substantial body of work is not the product of a single author or time period, but rather a composite of diverse documents, each with its own unique perspective and purpose. The book unveils the work of the Jahvist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, and Priestly Writer, demonstrating how their writings were skillfully interwoven and arranged to form a cohesive narrative. Through a close reading of these ancient texts, the book sheds light on the gradual development of Hebrew religious thought and the historical context in which these ideas took shape. The author paints a vivid picture of the ancient Israelites' evolving understanding of their relationship with God, their struggles and triumphs, and the profound impact these beliefs had on their society and culture. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of the Hexateuch, revealing the complex interplay of historical, literary, and theological forces that shaped one of the most influential religious texts of all time.
