R. Dovid Bashevkin interviewed me for his 18forty website on the subject of Biblical Criticism. The full interview is below. I don’t like speaking unprepared because I am not quick on my feet and always make mistakes on some things (like I do when I go off-script in a prepared talk). So please listen charitably.

Some corrections (running list as people contact me): There is, in fact, a 1990 doctoral dissertation from Hebrew U on Maharshal. Gordon Wenham only wrote a commentary on 3 of the 5 books of Moses (but the Genesis commentary consists of 2 volumes). You can find a translation of the essay by Rav Elchanan Samet that I mentioned here.
