Reviews
'In this masterful volume, Erisman demonstrates how crucial the wilderness narratives are for understanding the Pentateuch as a response to Israel and Judah's historical experience. Drawing on the best of documentary and supplementary approaches, she offers a distinctive account of the Pentateuch's development. Every page reveals fresh exegetical insights as various theoretical perspectives are combined with ease and elegance. It is not only a novel and compelling journey through the narratives of Exodus and Numbers, but a model for how to do work that is literarily sensitive and historically aware.' Nathan MacDonald, University of Cambridge, 'I am impressed. This is a new and groundbreaking examination of the wilderness, with new methods from the humanities. It is very reader friendly and provides new insights in a central topic of the Pentateuchal narratives. It is a must read for all scholars, students and others that are interested in the formation of the Pentateuch.' Thomas Römer, Professor and holder of the 'Biblical Environments' Chair. Collège de France, 'Through a smart and vibrant synthesis of literary and historical methodologies, Erisman illuminates the ways in which the writers of the Hebrew Bible used the wilderness narrative to explore some of the deepest social and political challenges that beset the ancient Israelites throughout their history, and that in fact continually confront political and social communities throughout time: What is the nature of sovereignty? What are the consequences of rebellion and foreign invasion? How do politics, religion, and rhetoric intersect for good and for ill? In Erisman's brilliant and probing analyses, the Hebrew Bible becomes a living engagement with political thinking-one that will be of deep interest to biblical scholars as well as readers interested in the intersections of literature and politics more broadly.' Graham Hammill, author of The Mosaic Constitution: Political Theology and Imagination from Machiavelli to Milton

Synopsis
In this volume, Angela Erisman offers a new way to think about the Pentateuch/Torah and its relationship to history. She returns to the seventeenth-century origins of modern biblical scholarship and charts a new course - not through Julius Wellhausen and the Documentary Hypothesis, but through Herrman Gunkel. Erisman reimagines his vision of a literary history grounded in communal experience as a history of responses to political threat before, during, and after the demise of Judah in 586 BCE. She explores creative transformations of genre and offers groundbreaking new readings of key episodes in the wilderness narratives. Offering new answers to old questions about the nature of the exodus, the identity of Moses, and his death in the wilderness, Erisman's study draws from literary and historical criticism. Her synthesis of approaches enables us to situate the wilderness narratives historically, and to understand how and why they continue to be meaningful for readers today., Angela Erisman offers a new way to think about the Pentateuch/Torah and its relationship to history in this book. She explores creative transformations of genre and offers groundbreaking readings of key episodes in the wilderness narratives. She provides new insights about the nature of the exodus, the identity of Moses, and his death.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
