Seeing Harmony

Elements of Literary Unity in The Book of Moses

ByDAVID LEVY

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
"Seeing Harmony" is a progressive application of the literary approach to TaNaCh previously advocated by scholars like Zvi Adar, Meir Weiss, and Robert Alter. Distinct from those scholars, "Seeing Harmony" posits that the Torah — that is, “The Five Books of Moses” — is a unified and coherent literary unit, an authored book crafted by an author making use of the tools of authoring. Whether “Author” is capitalized or lower-case is irrelevant. "Seeing Harmony" asserts that the consistent voice of the author resonates throughout the Torah and that that voice declares that it is to be read from beginning to end as a single, holistic, coherent, unit; reading from beginning to end is critical to this approach. "Seeing Harmony" explores the implications of that assertion.
