description: For the last two centuries biblical scholars have made discoveries and insights about the Old Testament that have greatly changed the way in which the authorship of these ancient scriptures have been understood. In the first of three volumes spanning the entire Hebrew Bible David Bokovoy dives into the Penateuch showing how and why textual criticism has led biblical scholars today to understand the first five books of the Bible as an amalgamation of multiple texts into a single though often complicated narrative; and he discusses what implications those have for Latter-day Saint understandings of the Bible and modern scripture.
