Using the method of critical intertextual research, this book demonstrates that Deuteronomy (written c. 500 BC) is an Israelite sequential hypertextual reworking of Ezekiel, that Genesis and Exodus-Numbers (written c. 400 BC) are Israelite sequential hypertextual reworkings of Deuteronomy, and that Samuel-Kings (written c. 300 BC) is a Judaean sequential hypertextual reworking of Deuteronomy. Consequently, the book disproves the theories of the existence of the so-called sources or traditions of the Pentateuch. The recognition of the fact that the Pentateuch is an Israelite and not a Judaean work may have great consequences for the dialogue between the monotheistic civilizations in our world and for peace initiatives in the Holy Land.… (more)

I read My Wilderness: East to Katahdin and My Wilderness: The Pacific West, both by William O. Douglas in the spring of 1969. I was looking forward to going to summer camp in New Hampshire, and hiking the White Mountains.

These books started my real love of hiking and wilderness. These books transported me to remote places I can never likely get to such as the Brooks Range of Alaska.The book triggered an avid interest in nature and wilderness. While my views have matured, I still have those books on my shelf and remember them fondly. ( )
