Book Synopsis
Tracing the history of the idea of the author beginning with attribution practices of Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism, Wyrick argues that the fusion of Jewish and Hellenistic approaches to attribution helped lead to Augustine's reinvention of the writer of scripture as an author whose texts were governed by both divine will and human intent.
