Yet it has been stimulated also—perhaps, even, mainly—by specific local factors, the commonplace character of which, however, prompts the hope that the following account will spark some recognition among fellow-travellers through this controversial terrain. The fundamental local factor stimulating change in my strategy in Pentateuchal study was the requirement in 1972-73 to teach a final honours course in the religion of ancient Israel to students who, as stu- dents of Religious Studies, had no formal training in Old Testament criticism. The challenge was to construct a course that would not only be accessible to the students concerned but also provide a reliable and intellectually defensible guide to the biblical material. It seemed to me that the only possible starting-point for such students was to begin at the end, with the Hebrew Bible as it is in the possession of all, rather than with the reconstruction of beginnings based on prevailing critical 1. For the Pentateuch as a whole, see for example J. Blenkinsopp, The Penta- teuch: An Introduction to the First Five Books of the Bible (London: SCM Press, 1992); C. Houtman, Der Pentateuch: Die Geschichte seiner Erforschung neben einer Auswertung (Contributions to Biblical Exegesis and Theology, 8; Kampen: Pharos, 1994); E.W. Nicholson, The Pentateuch in the Twentieth Century: The Legacy of Julius Wellhausen (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1998). For Exodus, M.

Doze- man, God at War: Power in the Exodus Tradition (New York: Oxford University Press, 1996).

Description:
Johnstone''s collection of essays argues that the way in which Chronicles incorporates and develops mater ial from Samuel and Kings offers an analogy for the way in w hich the final edition of Exodus was produced. '
