B.A. Yale University
M.A. University of Chicago

Professor Baden’s areas of research are the Pentateuch and Biblical Hebrew. He is particularly interested in the issue of Pentateuchal and Deuteronomistic composition and redaction. He has presented papers on source criticism and other methods of reading the biblical text, as well as the nature of the priestly strand of the Torah. Current projects include a study of the combination of the J and E strands in the Pentateuch and a series of articles on the syntax of volitive sequences in Biblical Hebrew. Future projects include a number of articles on detailed source-critical treatments of various passages in the Pentateuch, a handbook on the methodology of source criticism, and a study of the differing redactional techniques in the Pentateuch and the Deuteronomistic History.
