Who Wrote The Bible
by Richard Elliott Friedman"Richard Elliott Friedman focuses on the central books of the Old Testament--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy--and makes a persuasive argument for the identities of their four different authors. Drawing upon the most recent archeological discoveries, Friedman presents a vivid picture of the world of the Bible as he examines where and when these writers lived, the politics and history embedded in their stories, and their relationship to the events they describe and to one another. Challenging many conventional theories of biblical scholarship, he also sheds light on the marvel of the Bible's synthesis, on how the various documents were brought together to form a single text. Who Wrote the Bible? enriches our understanding of the Bible as literature, as history, and as sacred text, and is indispensable for anyone who loves and reads the Good Book."
