Who Wrote The Book Of Genesis And Why. The bible does not clearly say who wrote the book of genesis. Wiseman wrote a book entitled new discoveries about genesis.
Why was the book of genesis written? Scholars have debated this since the eighteen hundreds. It is largely debated in scholarly circles, and largely believed in popular circles that the first five books of the bible were written by a group of unknown scholars.
After all the studies the conclusion is that moses recorded and compiled genesis.
The date of authorship is likely between 1440 and 1400 b.c., between the time moses led the israelites out of egypt and his death. Tradition credits moses as the author of genesis, as well as the books of exodus, leviticus, numbers and most of deuteronomy, but modern scholars, especially from the 19th century, onward see them as a product of the 6th and 5th centuries bc. It is the living word of god. Figurative days of creation to the genealogical lines.
