Fab 4- Documentary Hypothesis

To begin, we have defined the Documentary Hypothesis as the idea that four different sources throughout different time periods wrote the first 5 books of the Bible in the order of JEDP: Pentateuch. Scholars have concluded the Mosaic authorship is outdated, and therefore they have proposed JEDP. Some criticisms of this theory include factual discrepancy, the order of the sources and whether there were in fact four sources.
