Bible Review opens the realm of Biblical scholarship to a non-academic audience. World-renown scholars detail the latest in Biblical interpretation and why it matters. These important pieces are paired with stunning art, which makes the text come to life before your eyes. Anyone interested in the Bible should read this seminal magazine.
Scholars divide the Pentateuch into four principal authorial strands: J for the Yahwist (Jahwist in German), because Yahweh is the customary appellation of God in this strand; E for the Elohist, because Elohim or a form of that name is the customary appellation of God in this strand; P for the Priestly code; and D for the Deuteronomist.
