  2. I got 10 out of 10 because I knew the answers you were looking for, but your answers regarding authorship and date of composition would not be shared by serious scholars

  6. I scored 9/10 – I wasn’t sure about the probable date of composition. However – given this date – the idea that the book was written by Moses is a little far-fetched. For one thing, the text is clearly the work of several different hands, and for another the existence of someone called Moses is open to doubt – there is no document that mentions Moses other than the Old Testament and other books derived from it.
