Summary

I discuss the basics of how the Old Testament was written, and discuss passages within the Old Testament which are evidence the text was revised and updated over time. I also explain why the Hebrew Bible is called the Tanakh and some differences between the Tanakh and the version of the Old Testament in my Protestant Bible. A basic historical timeline is also provided for the composition of the Old Testament.
