But didn't we introduce the Pentateuch LAST WEEK? Nope. Old Testament "Introduction" is a formal term encompassing all of the scholarship surrounding authorship, provenance, textual criticism & history, and other non-content related questions about the text (largely because Old Testament "Criticism" sounds blasphemous in Christian circles). Today Professor Kozlowski confronts some of the most important questions surrounding the Pentateuch and its composition - and why most of those arguments and questions are either lazy, tautological, or impertinent to its relevance as a foundational religious text.
