Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament?

You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred to Jews and Christians, both in the ancient world and today.

In Writing the Bible: Origins of the Old Testament, work through these fascinating questions (and their related assumptions) in the company of biblical expert Martien A. Halvorson-Taylor of the University of Virginia. As you chase down answers, you’ll travel back in time to explore how oral traditions — ancient songs and stories — shaped the identity of an emerging nation, Israel, and how those traditions came to be written down, reinterpreted, and gathered into a collection of books that resonate with us even now.

The Old Testament reflects the profundity and timelessness of human experience. It has the power to shape our sense of our own lives, to frame our fears, and to inspire our ultimate hopes. What could be more interesting than finding out who, exactly, we should thank for that?

I usually feel like most courses could have been much shorter. In this one I’m left with the opposite feeling, I wish the lecturer would have expanded on some of the examples rather than sending the listeners to her website. Otherwise, the course is very well organized and told at a very compelling way, really makes you think about the magnitude of these writers and the lasting historical impact they made which is still shaping our present day.

Interesting and compelling

This was a fascinating lecture series, with the author very clearly outlining how Hebrew Scripture came to be recorded. I appreciated her balanced explanations and that you don’t have to be a Bible scholar to understand. Excellent!!

Great exegesis

I liked hearing about all of the various means to discover “ who wrote the Bible “? It’s amazing to listen to the rich history of how time has shaped the canonical Bible.
