MOSAIC AUTHORSHIP CONTROVERSY: Who Really Wrote the First Five Books of the Bible?

I liked the "intellectual honesty" of the author when quotes opposing arguments against his position. The issue of the authorship of the First Five Books of the Bible is primarily within the past 150 yrs with some exceptions from some earlier parties. Andrews does well in addressing the primary pre-suppositions that lie behind the Documentary Hypothesis and the 'assured results or conclusions" that are used by those who believe that the Pentateuch is not written by Moses. The books is a great introduction (145 pages) into the whole issue of authorship of the First Five Books of the Bible and the argumentation from a conservative viewpoint that holds to the biblical view of the Bible that Moses is the author and not multiple authors. The argumentation is succinct and to the point. There are plenty of Endnotes and the Bibliography for the reader to be able to obtain other material for research. "If the writer(s) of the Pentateuch were, in fact, living from the ninth century into the fifth century b.c.e., more than a millennium [1,000 years] after the events described, they would have had to be thoroughly familiar with, even an expert in geology, geography,38 horticulture, archaeology, toponymy, onomatology (Archer, 1974), botany, zoology,39 climatology,40 and history." (Page 55) The multiple authorship hypothesis does not meet the external and internal evidence. I would highly recommend this book.
