	Exodus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Van Seters points out that the Yahwist (J) seems to have actually structured the oppression and genocide themes within the first chapter of the Exodus story from his understanding or recollection of much later traditions then the Exodus.7 When I Kings 9:15-23 is read the parallel with the slavery in Egypt is seen clearly.
		Van Seters concludes that for P the sea event is the climax of the Exodus.
		Van Seters says that the Song in Exodus 15 is an eclectic poem that stems from a variety of hymns with references to the sea event, the wilderness journey and the establishment of the religion at Mount Zion.

	"Archaeology and the Patriarchs" by Robert I Bradshaw
		Van Seters rejects the historicity of the accounts on the basis of the lack of any evidence for such a military alliance in a 2nd millennium context.
		According to Van Seters, the main problem is that this interpretation must supply the story with missing point of comparison and then reconstruct the text to agree with it.
		Van Seters argues that the term refers to the exilic period after the break-up of the Pentapolis by the Babylonians (54), a theory that is only valid if he is correct about a 1st millennium context for Abraham.

	Hebrew Scriptures and More . . . .
		Van Seters, does give a few quotes from early biblical scholars that recognized this connection, but I don’t believe that he presented anyone that gave a sustained argument along these lines.
		For van Seters, Origen’s Hexapla is a parallel.
		Van Seters can not be faulted for the delimiting of his investigation to the Pentateuch, but I wonder if I would agree to his analysis if it were applied to the Book of Isaiah or the very fruitful Redaction Critical studies done on the Book of the Twelve.

		Thus, in very simplified form Van Seters and Rose see the process as one of a DJP sequence, since both the Yahwist and Priestly traditions are seen to have emerged in the exile, and the Elohist is subsumed into the Yahwist.
		Even Van Seters admits the use of sources by the exilic Yahwist, and he admits that those texts formerly called Elohistic might be some of the especially old sources used by the exilic Yahwist historian.
		Van Seters, however, demurs from discussing them as a truly significant theological entity, preferring to describe the historiographical skills of the exilic Yahwist author.

		John Van Seters began by thanking those present for having come, and Executive members for their work.
		On behalf of the rest of the Executive, John Kloppenborg Verbin announced that Bill Morrow would be stepping down at the end of this meeting, after his term as Treasurer/Membership Secretary.
		John Van Seters thanked everyone for their participation, then moved (Morrow/Fraikin) that the meeting be adjourned.

	Augusta Georgia: features@ugusta: Good Book begins with one really good book, scholar claims 01/09/99
		Most vocal has been John Van Seters, a professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, with whom Friedman has been engaged in a sort of scholarly feud for several years.
		Van Seters returned the favor in the October issue of Religious Studies News, arguing that Friedman's theories are not original, and that they don't hold up to scrutiny.
		``David, his sons, and the monarchy in the Court History,'' Van Seters writes, ``could not possibly be understood as the culmination of the divine promise to Abraham (contra Friedman).

	Enuma Elish, Knapp, Babel, Babylon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		We could speculate all day on earlier conflicts with Babylon as a way of explaining the negative imagery, but if we restrict ourselves to what we know at present, then the sixth century is our best bet for the justification of the anti-Babylonian posture.
		This is one of the reasons I am particularly open to Van Seters late dating of J. There can be little doubt that Genesis is written - in part - as a > response to the Enuma Elish.
		John Van Seters in chapter 3 of his Prologue to History gives a nice brief survey of various Mesopotamian texts with parallels to Genesis imagery.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: A Law Book for the Diaspora
		Van Seters, John Formerly James A. Gray Professor of Biblical Literature and University Distinguished Professor of Biblical Literature (retired), University of North Carolina
		In successive chapters, Van Seters defends his radical hypothesis with a systematic comparison of the Covenant Code with the other legal codes and the broader ethical traditions of the Hebrew Bible.
		From this detailed comparison of laws, Van Seters concludes that the Covenant Code must be placed in the time of the Jews’ Babylonian exile as a code for the diaspora with minimal cultic requirements, strong humanitarian concerns that include social contact with non-Jews, and laws for a semiautonomous community within the larger imperial rule.

	Higgaion: Sunday at the CBA, part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I did get a seat in the 5:00 session that featured John Van Seters on "The Redactor in Homer and the Bible: A Comparative Study." The first part of Van Seters's paper was the most interesting.
		In the second part of the paper, Van Seters railed (and that is not too strong a word for the energy he showed during the Q&A afterward) against the very concept of a redactor.
		For Van Seters, yes, because he loads the term "redactors" with a certain meaning that is more or less a kind of "verbal tailor," if I understood him correctly.

	CSBS Historiography Seminar
		To date, the best two attempts to defend that genre designation are those of John Van Seters and Baruch Halpern.
		Van Seters compares the Former Prophets to ANE literature, while Halpern stresses rhetorical structures indicating what Halpern calls "antiquarianism" in the text.
		Widely used but rarely dissected, the paper is also an appeal for biblical scholars to more critically engage the implications of term "elite" as applied to socio-historical reconstructions of ancient Israel, and, indeed, to related ANE cultures.

		After discussing the history of the historical-critical study of the Pentateuch, van Seters critiques the standard version of the Documentary Hypothesis and offers his own theory.
		He rejects the existance of the Elohist, redates the Yahwist to the exilic period, and sees the Priestly writer not as a separate document but as a supplement to the Yahwist.
		Although this is a field that sees little consensus on the matter, van Seters is a leading scholar in source critical study and his ideas are taken very seriously within Pentateuchal studies.

		"In his characteristically incisive manner, John Van Seters proposes that the book of the covenant is not the oldest legal collection in the Hebrew Bible but arose centuries later as 'a law for the diaspora '.
		His argument, developed through careful comparison with other legal texts, turn long-held notions on their head.
		Van Seters has once again challenged biblical scholars to rethink their fundamental assumptions."

		No longer can a biblical scholar begin a sentence with the word J and presume that another scholar will listen to the rest -- or that the other scholar will mean more or less the same thing even if she is willing to use that term.
		The verities enshrined in older introductions have disappeared, and in their place scholars are confronted by competing theories which are discouragingly numerous, exceedingly complex, and often couched in an expository style that is (to quote John van Seter's description of one seminal work) "not for the faint-hearted."
		Nicholson also reviews and critiques John Van Seters' depiction of J as an antiquarian, his and H.H. Schmidt's dating of J to the exilic period, and other suggested revisions of the theory about the four sources and their origins.

		Some scholars understand that the Primary History, Genesis-Kings is a composition by several authors, the JEDP theory, J (the Yahwist) being the "oldest" strand of the time of Solomon.
		Van Seters is James A. Gray Professor of Biblical Literature and Chairman, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina.
		Yet the variety of conclusions which have been reached by scholars from the time of Wellhausen onwards, of which the results by such scholars as Van Seters are but the latest examples, arouses the suspicion that the methods employed are extremely subjective.
