Jacob's Tears

Who is Israel? Who were the priestly authors of the Pentateuch? This anthropological reading of the Bible argues that the authors, far from being unconcerned with their congregation's troubles, cherished a political agenda, a religious protest against the government of Judah's exclusionary policies.
