The contributors to this volume aim to situate the Priestly writings more precisely in time and place. They give special attention to choosing relevant criteria –such as geographic indicators and references to material culture within the texts themselves.
Although there is an enduring, general consensus regarding the identification of the Priestly Writings (P), there are nonetheless several open questions related to this important literary stratum in the Pentateuch. One of these crucial and debated questions is the dating and location of the Priestly texts. The contributors of this collected volume seek to better situate the Priestly Writings both temporally and geographically. In doing so they pay attention to the choice of pertinent criteria for this task and recall those that have been neglected in the recent past, such as geographical indications and references to material culture provided by the Priestly texts.
