Endorsements

“This is a useful and eclectic collection of articles on the
Pentateuch, ranging  through philosophical and
methodological studies, exegetical and theological
analysis, and comparisons between the Old Testament
writings and those of  the same period from elsewhere in
the ancient Near East. The work shows the  continued and
growing competence of SDA scholars of biblical studies,
and is  a welcome mix of work being conducted in both
the English and Spanish  worlds. It should prove a useful
addition to seminary library bookshelves.”
                     —David W. Baker, Professor of Old Testament and

 “Ésta es una colección interesante de estudios detallados
de los primeros  cinco libros del Antiguo Testamento. En
sus tres secciones este tomo trata una  variedad de temas:
interactúa con cuestiones filosóficas, presenta datos
arqueológicos y ofrece una exégesis cuidadosa de textos
bíblicos. Todos los  trabajos se basan en una profunda
convicción de que el Pentateuco es una  parte importante
de la Escritura cristiana. Otro de los aportes significativos
de  esta obra es que representa otra voz en la academia. Es
una muestra de que los  estudios en español empiezan a
tomar su puesto merecido en la mesa con la  erudición en
ingles, francés, y alemán”.

“The appearance of this monograph marks a pivotal
moment in South  American Old Testament scholarly
publications. Studies in this  volume—dealing with crucial
issues and topics in Pentateuchal methodology,  exegesis,
and theology—set forth seminal, penetrating, even land-
mark  research. The inauguration of this monograph series
appears to be a harbinger  of continuing enrichment for the
international scholarly community.”
