Well! I know Jacob's work only from articles and his dissertation (which I didn't read but know in summary). You've convinced me that I should read it. My first take from your reporting is that the broad summary of the various histories present in the OT/Hebrew Bible is his own but seems fair—and interesting.

Scot, I appreciate your openness to new or different perspectives, especially with your scholarly background.
