“The Torah has four authors.”
One day, someone will tell you. What will you answer?
A student fresh from a philosophy class, a worried parent, a young man who has watched a video, your own child. They are not asking for a sermon: they expect a precise answer. What they have heard is often wrong, sometimes partly right, and you need to be able to tell the difference.
This course gives you where each debate really stands, the sources of the tradition and the studies that matter, so that when the question comes, it does not catch you off guard.
- 24 hours of core course, at your own pace
- Over 150 scientific studies cited and verifiable
- Your progress saved, pick up where you left off
- Certificate of completion at the end

Each of these sentences contains some truth. Answering “that’s false” is not enough; answering “I don’t know” is not enough either. Create my free account
