The Breakfast Club on the Pentateuch (Palmer, Torey, Nick, Gardner)

The documentary hypothesis is the view that the Pentateuch is a combination of four independent sources acting in parallel from different time periods and perspectives to tell the same story. We decided that this theory was the most persuasive due to the contradicting and duplicate storylines and different names for God. Although this theory was well supported, its strength is undermined by the inconsistency in timing and the oversimplification that it supports.
