Description

This dissertation at the Melbourne College of Divinity (1996) was supervised by A.F. Campbell. Its purpose is “to evaluate R. Rendtorf's claim that, once the implications of the form-critical and traditio-historical method are properly appreciated and the method consistendy applied, a division of the Pentateuch into continuous “sources” can no longer be justified or considered useful as a model by which to understand the process of transmission” (p. v), and this is done by examining the contrasted treatments by Martin Noth and Erhard Blum of the story of Jacob and Laban in Gen. xxv 19-xxxiii 17.
