The Logical Fallacies of the Documentary Hypothesis

By Clayton Howard Ford

Book Overview

Richard Elliott Friedman's Seven Main Arguments supporting the Documentary Hypothesis are finally answered. Ford also takes to task the arguments presented by Joel S. Baden and demonstrates: the analogues provided by the documentarians can be used to argue against the Hypothesis as well as for it one of Friedman's books can be divided into documents Friedman cites studies to support his position, even though those very studies contradict his conclusions the word lists used to support the Hypothesis can change depending on how one divides the Pentateuchal text the Hypothesis does not adequately explain why the names of God appear in the "wrong" documents by the documentarians' own admission, the documents are not continuous and complete the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea knew the entire Pentateuch the Pentateuch existed before the exile the convergence argument can be used to prove that Friedman did not write his own book. Ford then presents what the scholars must do if they wish to go on supporting the Documentary Hypothesis.
