Much of how we view our religion comes from the filters through which we read the scriptures. So, it goes without saying that those filters are important and it requires us to be knowledgeable about the filters we wish to incorporate. One that has been becoming more popular as of late is the Documentary Hypothesis. So with that in mind I wanted to explore this concept more to gain a better understanding of what it is, how it would inform our understanding of scriptures, what we could learn by applying this filter and some of the big take aways we could gain or lose by viewing scripture through this lens. Now this week Michael Ness joins me as we present an analysis of this hypothesis. We talk about what it is, who came up with it, and how it could change our understanding of the scriptures. Now next week I will have on another guest who will give a critique of the Documentary Hypothesis in hopes that you will have both sides of the argument and you can make an informed decision on the topic.
