In this course, you’ll explore the fascinating question of who wrote the Bible through four key lectures. You’ll begin with the major issues of authorship, examining the complexities of identifying the Bible’s writers. Next, you’ll uncover how attributed authorship shaped tradition by crediting texts to key biblical figures. The course then turns to the vital work of scribes, copyists, and translators, who preserved and transmitted scripture across generations. Finally, you’ll engage with the idea of the “death of the author,” considering modern perspectives on interpretation beyond the original writer’s intent.
