Wow... "Classic" doesn't do this book justice. With seven swipes of his historical-literary sword, Cassuto beheads the Documentary Hypothesis. As we stare in disgust on the bloody corpse which once was the greatest knight of the realm, we suddenly find ourselves experiencing that historical shift in biblical studies which began here. Short, powerful, and easy to read--Cassuto's lecture series is a tour de force for the layman and scholar alike.
A concise, dynamic exposition of the Book of Exodus by an academically reliable Jewish commentator. Cassuto successfully argues against the Documentary Hypothesis, rejecting Wellhausen's thesis and JEDP. Cassuto instead says that the Pentateuch was written as a unified text in c.10 BC and not redacted in any significant way. An essential OT commentary for the pastor or serious student.
