Origin and Transmission of the Scriptures
1. Why is the authorship of most books of the Bible disputed?
Why do many books of the Bible have no statement of authorship? Why are some books in the canon pseudepigraphical (lie about authorship)?
2. Why did the early church not revere the scriptures as Christians do today, so that they added interpolations and made emendations?
3. Why hasn't the Bible been transmitted to us in perfect condition if it is so important and if God had his supernatural hand in it?
Why did both Israel and the church add interpolations, emend, and conflate the texts?
