Judaism and the Tanakh
This page delivers no verdict; it presents claims and evidence with their sources. No theory in science is absolute. Method
For everyone
Judaism is the religion that believes in one God (YHWH) and centres on the covenant between God and the people of Israel. Its scripture, the Tanakh, consists of the Torah (the five books of Moses), the Prophets and the Writings; the oral tradition is compiled in the Talmud. There are about 15 million Jews in the world.
For specialists
According to traditional belief the Torah was given to Moses at Mount Sinai. The documentary hypothesis (Wellhausen), a common model in modern textual criticism, proposes that the Torah was formed by combining sources from different periods; it and its alternatives are debated academically. The Dead Sea Scrolls (3rd century BCE – 1st century CE) include the oldest known manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible text.
