Formation and Reformulation

Michaël N. van der Meer, Ph.D. (2001) in Theology at Leiden University, currently teaches religion at a secondary school in Amstelveen and publishes articles in the field of textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible

'This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in Deuteronomistic studies and/or text-critical studies. The Deuteronomistic scholar will be challenged by the insights stemming from text-critical studies, while the text critic will enjoy the refreshment course into Deuteronomistic studies. .... In conclusion, this volume is a must for every scholar of Deuteronomistic studies or textcritical studies who wants to take the debate to the next level.'Kristin De Troyer, Review of Biblical Literature, 2006'Van der Meer's work provides a reminder to textual critics of the need to be sensitive to the possibility of interpretive and stylistically motivated renderings on the part of the LXX translators.'Steven Mckenzie, Review of Biblical Literature, 2005.
