JEPD is the Documentary Hypothesis theory which suggests that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible were not written by Moses, but rather compiled from four main sources believed to be written by different authors (J for Yahwist, E for Elohist, P for Priestly, and D for Deuteronomist) over time. This theory is important as it helps scholars understand the development of the biblical texts and the different theological perspectives present in The Bible.

Why is JEPD important for Bibical scholarship?

JEPD are not important. These are heresies from the pit of hell. Some German scholar decided a few centuries ago that he thought they were important. Jesus himself quotes from all 5 books of Moses and attributes all of them to Moses. These documents were also translated into Greek almost 3 centuries before Christ without JEPD being a problem. If you believe in Jesus Christ then you don't have to worry about who wrote the books of Moses. If you don't believe in Jesus Christ you have bigger problems than who wrote the books of Moses!


Was the Torah in one scroll?

Yes, the Torah has always been written in a single scroll. This is important because it contradicts the secular JEPD (many authors) hypothesis, which has no evidence other than theory. See also the Related Link.Debunking the JEPD hypothesis


Was Moses presumed to be the author of the Torah?

Moses is considered by Religious Jews to have penned the Torah at God's command. More liberal forms of Judaism ascribe to a combination of this and the historical JEPD thesis.


Where does a non religious person think Moses got the 10 commandments?

An Atheist typically does not acknowledge the historicity of Moses or the events at Mt. Sinai. Therefore the Ten Commandments would be a fabrication of the Judeans either in Jerusalem or in Babylon when the Bible was finally written and redacted by the JEPD sources.


Wrote the first five books?

There are 2 common answers to this question. The traditional answer is that Moses wrote most of the first 5 books of the Bible. Others believe that these books were complied from 4 different sources, called J (for Jehovah or YHWH); E (for Elohim); P (for Priest); and D (for Deutronomic). Personally, I believe the evidence is scant for the JEPD theory. Ultimately, we don't know for sure who wrote the pentateuch.
