The Documentary Hypothesis: and the Composition of the Pentateuch Eight Lectures

by Umberto Moshe David Cassuto;

Although originally published more then 50 years ago, this little Cassuto book is still probably the best, most focused attack on Wellhausen's Documentary Hypothesis and a powerful defense of the integrity of the biblical text.

[j.j]

great intro into learning counter arguments on the doc hypo. not sure how many of his books are translated into English but i hope to find one or two more for sure. his arguments were compelling for this novice student of the Tanakh.

[Dave Graham]

Excellent book addressing many components on the topic

[Eric Chevlen]

The author persuasively summarizes his arguments against the Documentary Hypothesis in chapters which originated as oral lectures. He frequently refers to his comprehensive discussion of the subject, which he had written in Italian. The modern reader, unlike the attendees at his lectures, has available English language translation of his major work.
