Recommendation for books that explain the arguments of biblical criticism
Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi
Do you know of / recommend any books that present, in an orderly summary form, the claims of biblical criticism (not necessarily by rabbis)?
I tried on my own, but it’s a bit cumbersome; I haven’t found a book that more or less comprehensively covers the field (something in the style of your books, which are very clear and excellent! :-)).
Thanks in advance
Answer
I don’t deal with this area, so I’m not familiar. I know there are books by Rabbi Berman and by Amnon Bazak. You can turn to people who do work in this area, such as Rabbi Elchanan Samet, Rabbi Amnon Bazak, Rabbi Yoel Bin Nun, Ovadia Maor, and so on. There are materials, and you can also ask on the "Knowing Faith" website: https://www.knowingfaith.co.il/
Thank you
