Richard Elliott Friedman’s Who Wrote the Bible? challenges traditional authorship of Moses, showing that the Torah emerged from at least four distinct voices—J, E, P, and D written across centuries and compiled during Judah’s reforms and exile. Friedman makes complex biblical scholarship accessible, revealing how ancient politics and religion shaped a foundational text.
