The Sceptics of the Old Testament

In "The Sceptics of the Old Testament", E. J. Dillon explores the historical and literary contexts of skeptical voices within the Hebrew Scriptures. He examines how doubts and critical perspectives emerged among ancient scholars and prophets, shedding light on the development of questioning attitudes toward traditional beliefs and divine authority. Dillon's analysis reveals the complexity of biblical thought, illustrating that skepticism was an integral, though often subdued, aspect of the Old Testament's intellectual landscape, challenging the notion of a uniformly devout or unquestioning tradition. The Sceptics of the Old Testament is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1895.
