Apostles Denied Paul Letters of Recommendation in 57 AD. Ambrose Was Telling the Truth in 363 AD

Some asked about Friedman on Torah's reputation. So I asked AI: how respected in judaism is Richard Elliott Friedman, the scholar who wrote Commentary on Torah? Here is AI answer Richard Elliott Friedman is highly respected as a leading modern biblical scholar in academic and liberal Jewish circles, known for bringing source criticism into conversation with traditional Torah commentary. His Commentary on the Torah is praised for its clear translation and ability to blend academic, historical-critical approaches with traditional Jewish, or "plain sense" (peshat), interpretation. Key points regarding his reception in Judaism: Academic Acclaim: He is recognized as a premier Bible scholar, holding prestigious positions at the University of California, San Diego and University of Georgia, with work focusing on the Documentary Hypothesis. Bridge Between Worlds: While deeply academic, his work is appreciated in Reform and Conservative Jewish communities for engaging with traditional texts while offering fresh,, critical,, and, sometimes, provocative, insights, according to Jewish Journal and Goodreads reviews. Reception in Orthodox Circles: Due to his academic conclusion that the Torah is a composite of sources edited over time—rather than written entirely by Moses—his work is often viewed with caution or rejected in traditional Orthodox circles that adhere to Mosaic authorship, as indicated by Wikipedia and WordPress discussions. Reputation: He has been called "one of the greatest biblical scholars of our age" and his work has received awards like the National Jewish Book Award finalist in 2005. His Commentary on the Torah is often considered a valuable, if non-traditional, resource for understanding the composition of the text. MY COMMENT: His hypothesis about a portion of Torah was written by someone other than Moses appears indisputable because the ending has Moses' death in third person is clearly narrated by someone else, and it continues just before the arrival in Canaan which Moses was barred by God from seeing. Hence, the second document hypothesis seems reasonable if not impossible to deny. I asked Google AI about that and it explained: DEATH OF MOSES IS DESCRIBED, AND THE NARRATION CONTINUES Yes, the final book of the Torah (Deuteronomy 34) narrates the death of Moses on Mount Nebo and confirms his ban from entering the Promised Land. The narrative concludes with Joshua taking leadership, ... the Torah ends while the Israelites are still in the plains of Moab, camping on the east side of the Jordan River, [before] their arrival in Canaan. Key Details of the Final Narrative: Moses's Ban and Death: Deuteronomy 31:2 and 34:1-5 detail that because of earlier disobedience (the waters of Meribah), Moses is forbidden from crossing the Jordan. God shows him the land from afar, after which he dies and is buried in an unknown grave. Final Setup for Canaan: Before his death, Moses appoints Joshua as his successor to lead the people into the land (Deuteronomy 31:7-8). The Ending Point: The Torah ends before the crossing. The Israelites are waiting to enter, leaving the completion of that promise for the beginning of the next book, Joshua. END OF AI ON SECOND AUTHOR Regardless, Friedman's agreement with the documentary hypothesis does not disallow that his translation and commentary work lacks validity. It is facing manuscript evidence of more than one hand in the manuscript AMAZON DESCRIPTION Here is the Amazon description: Commentary on the Torah Paperback – April 15, 2003 by Richard Elliott Friedman (Author) 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (248) 4.3 on Goodreads 198 ratings See all languages and editions In this groundbreaking and insightful new commentary, one of the world's leading biblical scholars unveils the unity and continuity of the Torah for the modern reader. Richard Elliott Friedman, the bestselling author of Who Wrote the Bible?, integrates the most recent discoveries in biblical archaeology and research with the fruits of years of experience studying and teaching the Bible to illuminate the straightforward meaning of the text -- "to shed new light on the Torah and, more important, to open windows through which it sheds its light on us." While other commentaries are generally collections of comments by a number of scholars, this is a unified commentary on the Torah by a single scholar, the most unified by a Jewish scholar in centuries. It includes the original Hebrew text, a new translation, and an authoritative, accessibly written interpretation and analysis of each passage that remains focused on the meaning of the Torah as a whole, showing how its separate books are united into one cohesive, all-encompassing sacred literary masterpiece.
