THE TORAH AND ITS GOD
by Jordan Jay Hillman
Viewing both the Torah and its God as purely human creations, Jay Hillman draws on a broad scholarly consensus
regarding the "Documentary Theory," as it bears on the identities and
periods of the Torah's sources. He reinterprets the Torah as a still vital text that used
theistic means appropriate to its time to inspire a people toward their
worthiest human purposes. ... From his humanist perspective and his background
as a lawyer and professor of law at Northwestern University (now emeritus),
Hillman offers many insights into the narrative and wide-ranging legal code of
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy-including their many
contradictions and anomalies. $40.00
