Description: From the Back Cover
With the proliferation of literature on virtually every area of biblical studies, it has become increasingly difficult for students and non-specialists to navigate their way through the sea of reading material. The IBR bibliographies provide ready assistance by selecting the most important works and providing brief annotations to help the reader make informed choices.

In The Pentateuch: An Annotated Bibliography, Old Testament scholar Kenton L. Sparks provides expert guidance through more than 600 of the most significant books, articles, and essays on the Pentateuch. His annotations describe the basic argument of the work, and brief section introductions provide necessary orientation. The result is more than just a list of books to read. This carefully chosen and wisely annotated list provides an introduction to and a survey of scholarly study of the Pentateuch.

The Pentateuch is the ninth volume published in the IBR Bibliographies series. Each volume in the series, produced under the auspices of the Institute for Biblical Research, annotates 500 or more of the best resources on a major division of the canon or a major area of methodology. Volumes focus primarily on works available in English and provide students with invaluable guidance in their biblical studies research. Kenton L. Sparks (Ph.D., University of North Carolina) is associate professor of biblical studies at Eastern University. He is the author if Ethnicity and Identity in Ancient Israel.
