Who Wrote the Bible?

Focusing on the first five books of the Bible, Professor Richard Friedman draws on biblical and archaeological evidence to make a convincing argument for the identities of their authors, and paints a vivid picture of the world of the Bible—its politics, history, and personalities. The result is a work of striking scholarship that sheds a new and enriching light on the Bible as literature, history, and sacred text.
