Who Wrote the Bible? Paperback - 1997

by Richard Elliott Friedman


From the publisher

"It is a strange fact that we have never known with certainty who produced the book that has played such a central role in our civilization," writes Richard E. Friedman, a leading Bible scholar. From this point he begins an investigation and analysis that reads as compellingly as a detective story. Focusing on the central books of the Old Testament-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy-Friedman draws upon biblical and archaeological evidence to make a convincing argument for the identities of their authors. In the process, he paints a vivid picture of the world of the Bible-its politics, history, and personalities. The result is a marvel of scholarship that sheds a new and enriching light on our understanding of the Bible as literature, history, and sacred text. Who Wrote the Bible? is enlightening, riveting, and an important contribution to religious literature.

Richard Elliot Friedman is a biblical scholar and the Ann and Jay Davis Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Georgia. He previously held the Katzin Chair at the University of California, San Diego. Friedman earned his doctorate at Harvard and was a visiting scholar at Oxford and Cambridge. He is the author of numerous books, including The Hidden Face of God, Commentary on the Torah, and The Bible with Sources Revealed. "Brilliantly presented: there is no other book like this one. It may well be unique."-Los Angeles Times
