Documentary: Who Wrote The Bible?
Offline
I'm posting this for anyone who wants to help review the documentary by Robert Beckford called "Who Wrote The Bible?".
I'm no historian so I don't know whether this documentary has any blaring inaccuracies or not. It seemed like a genuine look at the subject. Beckford appears to interview knowledgable theologians/historians/archeologists. His narrative seemed level headed and non-sensational.
He exposes the ideas that the first 5 books of the Old Testament are written by Moses, and the Gospels of the New Testament being eyewitness accounts, as falsehoods. He shows who, when , where and for what purpose people translated and rewrote parts of the Bible.
Beckford appears to remain a Christian even after debunking what he was taught about the scriptures when he was young.

Im not sure about accuracy, but it was a very interesting video...thanks for posting it.
I have always felt that the bible was written, to control a large population, under a belief system.
It makes much more sense, and is more economical, than using a large army to keep a population in check.
This video seems to come to that conclusion. "well roughly"
Definitely worth a look guys...
