Introduction
Authorship
Mosess name does not appear in the book of Genesis as it does in the other four books of the Pentateuch, nor is another author identified. For that reason, strictly speaking, Genesis is an anonymous book. There is no real problem with acknowledging this, for the majority of the books in the Old Testament are anonymous. Who wrote Kings? Who wrote Judges? We do not know. The presence of so many anonymous books in the Old Testament invites the reader to focus exclusively on what is said rather than on who said it. Content trumps source.
Jewish and Christian tradition alike have attributed Genesis to Moses. This position is based more on inference, or the lack of a more appealing alternative, than on clear textual data in Genesis. When the New Testament uses phrases such as Moses and all the Prophets (Luke 24:27) or Moses and the Prophets (Luke 16:29), we know that Jesus is speaking of the first two sections of the three-sectioned Hebrew Bible (Law, Prophets, Writings). As Prophets stands for Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the twelve Minor Prophets, Moses stands for the Torah, Genesis through Deuteronomy. Jesus thus marks Genesis as Mosaic.
Most critical biblical scholars outside evangelical circles find the above conclusion both unconvincing and unacceptable. In its place they offer the Documentary Hypothesis, or the JEDP theory, which rejects both the Mosaic authorship of Genesis (and the rest of the Pentateuch) and its literary unity. It is alleged that multiple authors are indicated by (1) the presence of doublets (two creation accounts, two flood stories, two banishments of Hagar and Ishmael) that contain contradictory and mutually exclusive information, (2) several distinctly different writing styles and theological perceptions, and (3) the use of multiple names for deity (Elohim, Yahweh, Yahweh-Elohim), often in a single story.
Specifically, four documents are posited. The first is J (for in it the name for deity is Yahweh/Jehovah), which was written in the time of David and Solomon in Jerusalem. The second is E (Elohim is the name for deity here), written about a century later somewhere in northern Israel. After these two documents were spliced, D (for Deuteronomy, or parts of Deuteronomy) was produced in the late eighth or seventh century BC. Finally, around the time of the exile or shortly thereafter (550450 BC), the P (for priestly) materials were added. Subsequently someone edited all of the documents to give us our Pentateuch. There are currently multiple reconfigurations of the JEDP sequence; for example, one would place J last, and another reverses D and P (i.e., from Deuteronomy: Priestly to Priestly: Deuteronomy).
