  The idea that a redactor is the solution for the problems of J.E.P.D. hypothesis, when it comes to the Pentateuch, is what I like to call: <b>&apos;the redactor of the gaps fallacy.&apos;</b>

  I frequently hold to the P, B &amp; J hypothesis (when it&apos;s close to lunch time anyway). Good work brother.

  This is pretty eye-opening. Good to finally get a good Documentary Hypothesis critique on YouTube.

  J.R.R. Tolkien gave roughly fifteen names to Gandalf alone, created two dialects of Black Speech, the language of Mordor, gave two names to Middle-earth&apos;s analog of Satan (Melkor/Morgoth) and uses them interchangeably, referred to Mount Doom as Orodruin early on in Lord of the Rings, and called the Fellowship the Company more often than Fellowship and nobody questions it being the sole creation of Tolkien&apos;s imagination. Sure, his son Christopher edited and published his posthumously published works, but that&apos;s all he did: edited and published since he had his father&apos;s papers and continued his father&apos;s legacy until his own death in 2020.

  Obviously nobody ever uses different names for the same person in the same document. Incidentally, I saw that video of Joe falling off his bike the other day. It&apos;s both sad and funny to see the president humiliated like that. Hopefully the commander in chief is able to recover from his ego wound. I certainly think Biden has it in him to bounce back from this setback.

  There’s not enough of these extensive analyses online. Thank you, IP.

  I just pictured Deuteronomy as a kid just standing there by himself, waving and saying &quot;hi&quot;.

  You have a very good point. &nbsp;Studying the ancient world demands to abandon many modern cultural assumptions.

  The documentary is really well done and a tremendous use of scholarly sources to balance competing arguments for and against the Documentary Hypothesis. One component of the documentary demonstrating IP&apos;s academic prowess (and crucial to the understanding of history in general, no matter the period), is his demonstrating the historical, literary tradition over time from the ancient literary forms of writing into the early first centuries A.D. (A.C.E); this creates a foundation for a strong future argument.

  Hey InspringPhilosophy, as a physicist and agnostic, I absolutely adore your content! Your arguments are formulated, presented, and well-researched to to a much higher degree than any other theist channel and many secular channels I&apos;ve come across. I particularly admire your &quot;defending the rules of logic&quot; video and would love to hear your perspective on how Godel&apos;s incompleteness theorem connects to John 1:1! To me it is a much sounder argument than the &quot;qauntum woo&quot; perspective which has fallen out of favor in academic circles

  The documentary hypothesis was one of the big questions about the faith that I encountered. This takes me back to my first years of defense of the faith. <br><br>I&apos;m really looking forward to what&apos;s to come.

  The first minutes are I for Introduction, then the following is A for Arguments and the end is C for Conclusion. Good stuff, Mike!
