Endnote 1 – P—Understanding the Priestly Source

Some modern Orthodox Jewish authorities are trying belatedly to come to grips with the conclusions of “source criticism.” They admit to apparent inconsistencies and stylistic differences, but they attribute them to different aspects of God. See, for example, Mordechai Breuer, “Studying the Plain Meaning of the Bible—Dangers and Opportunities” (in Hebrew), in The Bible and Us, ed. Uriel Simon (Tel Aviv: Devir, 1979), pp. 153–171.
