Who Wrote the Bible? Session 2: The Sources of the Pentateuch

The Great Courses Presents: Who Wrote the Bible? | Sessions

Delve into the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, traditionally attributed to Moses. Examine the claims for Moses’ authorship vs. indications within the text itself. Delineate the four “sources” or strands of the Pentateuch, their distinct content, and evidence that each was originally a separate text. Reflect on who may have written the four documents of the Pentateuch and when.
