Bible Question: I have been studying higher criticism and am happy with the viewpoint that the first 5 books of the OT were written by a number of writers J,P,E,D. Not many churches seem to teach this. Is it a heresy? |
Bible Answer: JJLOZ53: Welcome to the Forum! Wow you ar just reading these just for fun? I was forced to in seminary and hated it. Are you in a clas or something? J E P D assumes that moses did not write all of Genesis. Jesus said Moses wrote it, so who do we believe? Most typical those who adhere to this theeory are neo-orthodox in theology. These who hold to the J E P D theory would hold an Amillennalists view of the millennium as well. Tim was correct when he told you these type of believers mostly hold a low view of Scripture. This is not to say those who take the J E P D theory are not Christians. These believers also use alagory to explain many of Jesus' teachings as well. I have not yet found a conserative that would believe the J E P D theory. Hope this adds to what has already been said, justme |
