The Straight Dope: Who Wrote The Bible? [via MetaFilter]

  1. Five Books of Moses. “The traditional explanation is that the Five Books of Moses were written by Moses himself. … Documentary theorists see a much more complicated story, with four different texts by four different authors. These were later combined by an editor, called the Redactor.”
  2. The Old Testament. “There is no external, independent evidence of authorship or dating of these books. If you have five scholars in a room, you’ll get seven different theories.”
  3. The prophets. “The prophets … held up the ideals of moral duty, adherence to religious truth, and national renewal. Notwithstanding our modern notion of a prophet as someone who foretells the future, long-term predictions were not the primary concern.”
  4. The New Testament. “[R]egardless of whether the names given to the Gospels are those of the actual authors or merely reflect a claim to apostolic authority, ‘we know virtually nothing about the persons who wrote the Gospels.’”
  5. The process of canonization. “Christianity was new, had no tradition, and was torn with disagreement about what it was and what it should be. The chief competitor to what would become mainstream Christianity was Gnosticism. … The first officially sanctioned canon of the New Testament was attempted by Irenaeus of Lyon. Irenaeus saw the effect Gnosticism was having on Christianity and feared that the church was splintering into factions. Formalizing doctrinal authority seemed to be the answer.”

I can just tell that this is going to be one of those days when I putter around in my bathrobe for as long as possible, writing and coding and hacking and playing and lounging and eating yogurt and granola and sandwiches made in haste by slapping presliced lunchmeat and relish onto cold bagels, and that my only chance of going out into the Real World and interacting with Real People and accomplishing Real Things will be Dorabeautiful, patient, tolerant, loving, caring, understanding, nurturing Dora — dragging me into it kicking and screaming.
