Book Description
Excerpt from The Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch Ten years ago the author undertook to write a little book upon the Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch, and at that time he advanced some distance in its preparation. But on reflection he turned aside from it, with the opinion that the times were not yet ripe for it. He accordingly prepared the volumes entitled Biblical Study, in 1883, and Messianic Prophecy, in 1886. He has written a number of papers upon the Hexateuch in several different periodicals, and has ever kept in mind the ultimate accomplishment of his original plan. But it was his desire to wait until the completion of the new Hebrew Lexicon in order to use all the wealth of its fresh study of Hebrew words in the documents of the Hexateuch. It was also his desire to wait until he had completed his preparatory studies in the Higher Criticism of the Psalter, and in the Biblical Theology of the Old Testament. These studies are not in that state of forwardness which was anticipated before the publication of the present book. And yet they have gone so far as to produce a considerable amount of fresh evidence which now appears for the first time in this volume.

Excerpt from Reasons for the Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch It is with pleasure that I accept the invitation of my friend, Mr. Gibson, to write a few introductory lines for his book. I do this with the greater willing ness, because I believe that something more ought to be said in a brochure of this kind on two or three points than he has felt himself called on to insert in the body of the work. Indeed, the things I have in mind are sufficiently irrelevant to the general outline of Mr. Gibson's thought, to render them unsuitable for elaboration in any other place than just such a semi detached Introduction.

The appeal that this book makes to the reading public will find its heartiest response among the clergy and the more intelligent lay people. It is distinctly not a "popular" statement in the sense of endeavoring to do all the thinking for the reader.

Excerpt from An Historico-Critical Inquiry Into the Origin and Composition of the Hexateuch: Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Under this aspect it was impossible not to recognise the urgent need, both in Holland and elsewhere, of a concise but complete exposition of the criticism of the Hexateuch which should not only build upon the foundations laid long ago and universally accepted, but should, as it were, construct the whole edifice, from base to pinnacle, before the eyes of the student.

Book Description
For more than five decades, John Hayes's scholarship has had a decisive influence on scholars and students in the field of Hebrew Bible study. This collection of ten essays, written between 1968 and 1995, displays his remarkable and thought-provoking elucidation of Israelite history, prophecy, and law. These essays make significant contributions that challenge the mainstream scholarship establishment with their daring interpretations and explanations, along with their bold, innovative theories. The way in which Hayes approaches the study of seminal figures, biblical texts, and historical reconstructions, combined with his analysis of specific methods, will have lasting implications for contemporary scholarship. He argues that biblical texts must be understood as being embedded within the particular historical, social, cultural, and political matrices from which they emerged. Whether exploring the social formation of early Israel, the final years of Samaria, or the social concept ofcovenant, he demonstrates a textually focussed and exegetically based approach. Hayes's essays provide valuable insights that help contextualise developments within mid- to late-twentieth-century interpretation, thereby granting scholars glimpsesof key moments in the evolution of particular methods, trends, and models that have given shape to current research approaches. Familiarity with Hayes's writings thus allows contemporary interpreters to envisage new avenues and perspectives in critical discussion of the Hebrew Bible.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Triple Tradition of the Exodus: A Study of the Structure of the Later Pentateuchal Books, Reproducing the Sources of the Narrative, and Further Illustrating the Presence of Bibles Within the Bible It is now some eight years since I undertook a typographical exhibit of the sources of the Hexateuch. The work, at first planned to present the sources, from Genesis to Joshua, was found too voluminous and reduced for "The Genesis of Genesis," (Student Pub. Co., Hartford, Ct., 1892) to include only Genesis and the first twenty chapters of Exodus. Even this was found to be too long, and the material prepared on the first half of Exodus remained over. At the same time the series of critical discussions on Genesis published in Hebraica, Oct., 1890, and subsequently, was continued by a similar series in the Journal of Biblical Literature (vols. ix-xii. 1890-1893) on "JE in the middle Books of the Pentateuch." The surprisingly cordial welcome accorded me by critics at home and abroad, and the excellent account given by the publisher, have suggested a new volume, independent indeed of the "Genesis of Genesis," but of similar form and character, continuing the analysis to the end of the Pentateuch. We reach thus, with the death of Moses, a convenient stopping-place, though by no means the conclusion of the documents. The period between this event and the death of Joseph, includes the whole Story of the Exodus in its three great divisions, Deliverance from the Bondage of Egypt, Constitution of the Nation, and Wandering in the Wilderness. If occasion serve, the analysis of the three sources may be continued throughout the book of Joshua, and of the two older through Judges and part of Samuel down to the founding of the monarchy, under the title, "The Conquest of Canaan."
