Sacred Scripture Part 1- the Hebrew Torah


The Origins Of The Torah - The Documentary Hypothesis


Published on May 23, 2016
The Bible is the best-selling book ever. But who wrote it? According to the Documentary Hypothesis, the first five books (the Torah or Pentateuch) are actually a combination of four or more sources created by different authors over many centuries.

  1. I really enjoyed the breakdown on just where exactly the bible came from. This video was enlightening and it truly expanded my knowledge on the presence of the Bible as a sacred scripture throughout history.

  2. This video was very interesting. I didn't know a lot of the things stated in the video. For example how it was a collection of books. Although I did know about Genesis 6:19, "two of all creatures".

    I was never raised within a very religious household, so I don't really know much about the bible. I didn't know that it was a collection of books, but I did know about the story of Adam and Eve from my parents who transferred some religious knowledge when I was a child. I appreciate religion for what it signifies, hope and strength, no matter what religion.

  4. This video breaks down the significance of the bible and answered some of the questions most of us are interested to learn. I never really understood the bible and I would love to break it down and gain more understanding on the bible's context.

  5. I have never read the Bible until just recently when I've started attending a church. I have no idea how I should even start reading it due to the fact that I didnt understand anything that was being taught. Once I was explained the break down of the Bible it all made sense. This video does the same thing. It helps to break down and show for example everything that is taught within the Genesis section of the Bible.
