Summary
Among the manuscripts left by Earl C. Davis were a large collection concerning various aspects of the history of the Bible, which are collected here.
In addition to the manuscript clearly labeled, “Lecture IV,” which start with “Questions,” several other manuscripts with have been included along with an edited version of “Lecture IV”, curated by David Baird.
(1) “Questions,” which contains further questions and answers about textual criticism (2) “Question,” which contains yet another question about the historical origin of the manuscripts (3) “The Pentateuch as a Whole,” which concerns the Hebrew Pentateuch, or the first five books of the Old Testament (4) A diagram of the history of the various documents that came together to form the Pentateuch
It is perhaps worth noting that several lectures begin with “questions,”. It can be surmised that these were questions raised by congregants in response to the previous week’s lecture.
The primary downloadable document contains the original document followed by the transcription. The bottom of each item page also features the primary document as an embedded pdf for browsing. Transcription by Davis Baird.
