- Summary
- "In this book, noted Bible scholar Israel Knohl challenges the fundamentalist view that the Bible is a monolithic document. He persuasively argues, using specific Bible texts as his evidence, that the many spiritual currents and literary works in Israel in the period between the time of Solomon's Temple and the return from the Babylonian exile shaped this great work, and that within it are preserved many voices, with all their contradictions and redundancies."--BOOK JACKET.
