According to Jewish tradition, Moses was the author of the Torah (also known as the Pentateuch). But if this is the case, why are there so many contradictions in the narrative and laws in these five books? Could one person have written this large work? Learn how scholars make sense of the question of authorship of books like Genesis and Exodus in the Bible. Questions are welcome!
As part of this month’s series on the three Abrahamic faiths, this lecture adopts a religiously neutral, literary approach and welcomes people of all faiths and none.
