The New London Synagogue Salon with Professor Richard Elliot Friedman, University of Georgia.

For a Synagogue founded in an argument about who wrote the Bible, it’s not, actually, a subject we spend much time discussing. If our most sacred text is not the result of perfect dictation, from God to Moses, then how did the Torah come to be? Who wrote the Bible?

Who Wrote the Bible? is also the title of Professor Richard Elliot Friedman’s most famous book. It charts not only the history of academic Biblical study, but also Friedman’s own theory forged over decades of literary and philological engagement. He’s a terrific presenter and it’s a privilege for us to welcome him to our Salon.

All are welcome in our usual Zoom Room here call 0203 051 2874 and use the code 324 434 273, or watch the conversation on Facebook Live here.
