A:
The Book of Job consists of two layers, the most recent of which was written after the Babylonian Exile, but using a good deal of more ancient material. This is in a way comparable to Shakespeare writing about Julius Caesar - we would recognise Shakespeare's play as dating from the Reformation period, but that the story of Julius Caesar refers to the late Roman Republic. Much of the evidence for the dating of Job is found in the authors allusions to books recently written and to concepts that did not enter Judaism until the Exile.
The Book of Psalms was written over a period of centuries, with some dating back to the time of King David in the 10th century BCE, while others were composed later. Scholars believe it was written in various locations including Jerusalem and Babylon.
A:Biblical scholars regard the Book of Job as an early novel, so we must not think in terms of actual events and when they occurred. There is uncertainty about the date the Book of Job was written, and even about the nationality of the author. Based on certain references in the book's text, a date in the Persian period (fifth or fourth century BCE) is favoured.
Yes, the Book of Isaiah was written during the exile period in ancient Israel, specifically during the 8th century BCE.
The King James Version of the Bible.King James did not write it, he authorised it to be written, by the scholars of the time.
A:A superficial, or literal approach to studying the Bible is to look at the context of the period that is the actual subject of the book. Thus, we would look at the period in which the story of the Exodus is set, in order to better understand the text.Historical literary criticism focusses mainly on the subject's relevance, relationship with, and influence upon the historical period in which it was written. A historical critic attempts to establish when a book was actually written and then looks at how the time period influenced the writing of the work as well as how events in the author's life influenced him. Historical criticism of the Book of Exodus would look at the text in the same way as a historian looks at historical documents, seeking to learn what they reveal about the historical and socio-cultural circumstances in the period in which King Josiah reigned in Judah, when most scholars believe the book to have been written.

The book of Al-Muwatta was written by Imam Malik ibn Anas, one of the greatest scholars of Islamic law. It is a compilation of hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) and rulings of the early Muslim scholars on various legal, religious, and social issues.

Most scholars would date Romans as written from Corinth between A.D. 54 to 59.
The book was written somewhere between Egypt and Canaan, most likely in the Kadesh-Barnea area where the Israelites camped for a lengthy period.
AnswerThe workers, restoring the Temple during the time of King Josiah, were said to have Found the Book of Laws. Scholars think that this book was the Book of Deuteronomy, and that it had recently been placed there in order to give it the appearance of antiquity.
