mws2013's review
A fascinating look at hidden currents in the "Hexateuch". Segal argues that the Pentateuch and Joshua reveal the Israelites' desire for a God of forgiveness, not vengeance, and demonstrate that God, in order to be a God, needs a people to recognize him. Segal offers some very close and insightful readings, but can sometimes stretch a point. Recommended for those interested in the Old Testament as literature. ( )
