Chapter 2 - Who Wrote the Bible?

Synopsis between the commonly understood Old Testament author Moses and the theory of 4 writers or contibutors. Is corroboration for the Old Testament important? Moving away from the notion of "fact" or "fiction" but the question is "who wrote the Torah?"

    I'm not sure it's important to know who wrote the Torah, though it is fascinating to see how archaelogy can confirm or contradict what we think of as "fact." Knowing more about the political and socio-economic climate of the times does help enrich our understanding of the Torah. It certainly gets more interesting in Chapters 5-7.

    I think is important to some who takes the bible literally. Yet, I enjoy finding out about the 4 different groups in influenced and inserted texts for their own purposes.
