The Sources of the Hexateuch

Experience in the classroom at Nebraska Wesleyan and Wesleyan Universities has shown that there is need for an edition of the documents constituting the main sources of the Hexateuch. It is impossible to teach the Old Testament historically without frequent reference to J E and P. Students become interested in the problem and wish to read sources only to discover that the desired documents are not available. The Sources of the Hexateuch is an attempt to supply this need by editing the documents J E and P according to the consensus of English Scotch Dutch German French Swiss and American scholarship. -- From the Preface
