About this product

Product Information

J is the title that scholars ascribe to the nameless writer they believe is responsible for the text, written between 950 and 900 BCE, on which Genesis, Exodus and Numbers is based. In The Book of J, Bloom and Rosenberg draw the J text out of the surrounding material and present it as the seminal classic that it is. In addition to Rosenberg's original translations, Bloom argues in several essays that "J" was not a religious writer but a fierce ironist and a woman living in the court of King Solomon. He also argues that J is a writer on par with Homer, Shakespeare and Tolstoy. Bloom also offers historical context, a discussion of the theory of how the different texts came together to create the Bible, and translation notes. Rosenberg's translations from the Hebrew bring J's stories to life and reveal her towering originality and grasp of humanity.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    The Book of J, written by Harold Bloom and in collaboration with translator David Rosenberg, is something that needs to be read by anyone interested in the historicity of the first three books of the Hebrew Bible, or Pentateuch. The book explains the theory that Genesis, Exodus and Numbers were written by a highly sophisticated woman who was, possibly, a member of the High court of Solomon or a princess of the Davidic Royal house. Along with amazing depth of insight offered by both Bloom and Rosenberg, the Book of J contains the first three books of the Old Testament without being abridged, if that makes sense. Much of the Old Testament has been redacted, edited and revised over the last 1,000 years. But here we get a fresh look at the original writings of the author simply known as J. ...
