Norman Solomon: Torah from Heaven
Norman Solomon, the author of The Analytic Movement: Hayyim Soloveitchik and his School and The Talmud: A Selection (Penguin Classics)
From the publisher:
Traditional Jewish religious belief speaks of a divinely revealed, perfect text, authoritatively expounded. The question this book addresses is one with which the author has struggled all his life: in the light of historical criticism, advances in knowledge, and changing moral attitudes, is the traditional notion of divine revelation and authoritative interpretation still valid? The focus is on Judaism but the arguments are easy to transpose to other religions.
