Re: Moses Authorship

By virtue of this exercise/experiment, I cannot be certain about the authorship of Genesis at this point. based on the first two chapters, the text does not allow me to be conclusive....therefore I cannot be for or against your claim that moses is the sole author. Because I have decided to stick to the mechanisms we have all agreed upon, I cannot respond completely to your argument. I am committed to only responding to the content with an open mind....and responding to others that are also responding to and trying to make sense of the content at hand. I think your arguments are interesting, but let's do the best we can to stick to the text and not jump ahead, so we're all, literally, on the same page. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on chapter two.

I love you, daniel
