C. S. Lewis has written that, "when you turn from the New Testament to modern scholars, remember that you go among them as a sheep among wolves.

The Hebrew Scriptures were recognized as authoritative at their inception, and were immediately accepted as such by the Jewish people. The acceptance of the Pentateuch, for example, is recorded in Deuteronomy 32:46-47, and in Joshua 1:7,8. As a matter of course, the Church of the first century regar...
