[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1626758, member: 2189"] So where and how did western so-called monotheism arrive at the God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam? Using the 1993' celebrated work of Karen Armstrong titled, "A History of God, The 4000 Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam" the video below uses Armstrong's work and is condensed into a 15 minute presentation which might offer some food for thought. The History Channel among others often broadcasts the original documentary entitled "A History of God" which Armstrong appears and uses her work as a basis for the presentation. Well worth the watch regardless your view of god. In the video below, the discussion of what are terms "J", "E", "P" and "D" sources refer to the 19th century Documentary Hypothesis, sometimes called the Wellhausen Hypothesis. Named after the Christian theologian and bible scholar Julius Wellhausen, this approach to the bible has aided scholars and contextual scholarship to actually date the portions of the bible to when they were written. The same creator of the video below also covers this scholarship elsewhere as a part of this larger video series under the heading of "The Bible Pt. 2" which you can find at the YouTube Channel listed.
