Více o knize

The book defends the existence of the Elohist source in the Pentateuch, countering scholarly critiques and analyzing relevant texts. It draws parallels between ancient Near Eastern dream reports and biblical accounts, suggesting that prophetic narratives influenced the development of the Elohist tradition, which Gnuse positions in the seventh century BCE, post-Israel's fall. The texts are examined for their themes of devotion, hope, and obedience, offering insights relevant to both historical context and contemporary readers.
