This erudite book presents the evidence for an early document, extending from 1 Sam 1:1 to 2 Kgs 10:28 and deriving from northern prophetic circles toward the end of the ninth century B.C. and identifies the text of this document, without appeal to emendation or dislocation of the present OT text. This book also considers its significance and some of the consequences which derive from it.

Scholars have long attempted to explain how the Pentateuch was put together. According to the predominant theory--the documentary hypothesis--the material in these books, which varies in historical and theological points of view, came from four hypothetical sources designated as J, E, D, and P. Answering the increasing scholarly call to rethink this theory, Antony Campbell and Mark O'Brien offer a revolutionary explanation for the development ...

2 Samuel, " by Antony F. Campbell, S.J., is Volume VIII of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of every book in the Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the "structure, genre, setting, " and "intention" of each textual unit in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the ter...

In this book, full weight must be given to the experiencing, involving personal participation in the interpretation of a text. Many introductory courses about the Bible or the Older Testament teach students about these texts, but without actual experience of them.

When Tony Campbell, aged 75, asked the Council of Jesuit Theological College for Emeritus status and retirement from JTC, both were granted most graciously, along with a testimonial document which said in part: His teaching has combined evocation and provocation in the best sense of those terms.

This book presents the whole of the Pentateuch as what it first of all for the reader--and where every interpretation must begin--as literature, especially as a part of the history of ancient Israel's literature.

Joshua to Chronicles surveys the rich literature of the Old Testament books Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I and II Samuel, I and II Kings, and I and II Chronicles. Campbell argues that while these books may appear historical, they are more theological--better understood as Israel's efforts to interpret their people's experience. The book is helpfully structured with overview and review sections.

This book is a profound reflection on God's unconditional love for humanity. Yes, we "know" that God loves us, but if we were to be at all times consciously aware of this unconditional love, to accept it, and to act upon it, says the author, we would find our lives transformed. An entire shift in attitude would be demanded. Accepting God's love is accepting God's total passion for humanity and thus Christ's full passion on the cross. Accepting...
