Product Description

•••••

Many early Jews and Christians believed that Moses wrote all five books of the Bible (known as the Pentateuch). Modern biblical historians generally agree, however, that the Pentateuch is not a single document, but rather a compilation of texts with varying and often contradictory origins and dates that were written down decades after the events they claim to recount. As John Bergsma and Jeffrey Morrow point out in their book Murmuring Against Moses, the current paradigms used to study the Pentateuch are flawed, thus they question the academic consensus by presenting a slew of fresh evidence supporting the Pentateuch's antiquity. Bergsma and Morrow provide new voice to a rising academic discontent with typical critical techniques and make significant contribution to charting more bright future for Pentateuchal studies by shining light on the previous history of study and the current advances in the field.
