| | Documentary hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The hypothesis suggests that, because of the centralising religious reform instituted by King Hezekiah, the Aaronid priests created a text (P) which rewrote JE in a light favourable to them and the changes. | | | To them the documentary hypothesis is usually rejected as incompatible with their religious view of the Bible. | | | While accepting the documentary hypothesis as correct in outline, some scholars believe that the Wellhausen School overemphasized the use of written sources to the neglect of the oral traditions that underlay the sources. |

| | The P version was, according to the Documentary Hypothesis, an invention of the Priests of Judah, it was a rebuttal to versions J E. Jeremiah was from the E school and from the kingdom of Israel ancestry. | | | Documentary Hypothesis suggests that the Priestly version, P, lessens the importance of the prophets and the Torah, and boosted the need for centralized worship and the priest. | | | Documentary Hypothesis points to the animosity that existed between the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah at that time. |

| | Most Documentary Hypothesis advocates also have an evolutionary view of religion, believing that Monotheism is a recent development from primitive forms of polytheism, and thus hold to the premise that religion is essentially man made. | | | One of the more glaring assumptions of the Documentary view is that of an evolutionary view of religion. | | | In other words, scholars committed to the presuppositions of the Documentary Hypothesis are unwilling to surrender this already discredited view until a better one comes along that allows those presuppositions to remain intact. |

| | Thoughts on the Documentary Hypothesis |
| | The Documentary Hypothesis is sometimes used as justification for the non-observant movements, while the idea the Torah came directly from Moses is a keystone to Jewish faith. | | | The “Documentary Hypothesis” is a theory proposed by many Torah/Bible scholars to explain the origin of the Pentateuch, and even portions of the rest of the Tanakh. | | | The belief that Moses wrote the Torah and communicated the words of G-d is based entirely on faith. |

| | There is good reason to believe that the Documentary Hypothesis developed as an offshoot of the age of reason, which saw a complete shift from the theology of the Reformation period built on the harmony between Scripture and reason. | | | When disputes over the right way to interpret Scripture began to divide the church in the 17th century, several theologians were influenced by rationalism to believe and postulate that the matter could be resolved by appealing to reason, because it could serve as an objective standard beyond simple church debates and politics. | | | Notably, it is hard to admire or give credence to a theology of the Bible that seeks to destroy the very object of its survival. |

| | The Documentary Hypothesis |
| | Briefly, the Documentary Hypothesis is a theory about the authorship of the Torah, or the Pentateuch -- the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, often known as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. | | | It's not unusual for people to take an "all or nothing" attitude toward sacred texts: either they are literally true in their entirety or they can't be taken seriously at all as sources of religious truth. | | | They believe that divine inspiration can still be found in the midst of fallible human enterprises -- including the writing and compilation of the texts that form the basis for a faith. |

| | In the next section we will continue to offer arguments against the documentary hypothesis and for the Mosaic authorship of the first five books of the Bible. | | | But since other Old Testament authors affirm Mosaic authorship, as do numerous New Testament writers and the early church fathers, the veracity of the Bible as a whole begins to crumble if Moses is not the author of the Pentateuch. | | | Astruc believed that Moses must have used two different sources in writing Genesis, each having different names for God, and that the Elohim source was the older. |

| | The Documentary Hypothesis |
| | The Documentary Hypothesis is founded upon the basic conviction that the religion of the Israelite people can be explained in terms of a natural evolutionary process. | | | Any examples of movements towards the truth must be attributed, according to Scripture, to the mysterious work of divine grace preparing persons for the truth of the Gospel. | | | Among these were the assumptions that "law" and religion were quite primitive in the period that Moses is purported to have lived as well as the supposed absence of writing at this time. |

| | Suffice it to say that there is sufficient reason to question the evolutionary hypothesis with regard to religion. | | | While the church has, from its earliest days, recognized that the Old Testament is a part of her heritage, there has by no means been a consensus view with regard to its interpretation. | | | Rather, at its root is a theory based on the application of the naturalistic assumptions of seventeenth and eighteenth century humanists to the Biblical text. |
