Description

The first of the series "Debates of the Reliability of the Christian Bible" produced by author Erik Angus MacRae in September of 2020, this work features an in-depth refutation of the theories of the late Julius Wellhausen commonly called "Documentary Hypothesis". These theories featured a methodology of interpretation for the textual transmission of the Bible that late-dated its books in the creative timeline and consequently caused much of European and General Western scholarship (both secular and religious alike) to disregard the Bible as an unreliable book. It also deals with another argument that comes up very much in the same breath, a common claim that the Judeo-Christian texts represented in the Bible are a mere copy or slight variation of the Ancient Near Eastern polytheistic literature.
