Question

Why do Hubbard and Dearman characterize the Torah as "an anonymous literary work"?

A) Because it lacks historical significance
B) Because the author's identity is unknown
C) Because it was written by multiple authors
D) Because it is a work of fiction

Answer 1

The Torah is characterized as 'an anonymous literary work' because its authorship is unknown and it was written by multiple authors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hubbard and Dearman characterize the Torah as 'an anonymous literary work' because the author's identity is unknown and it was written by multiple authors. The Torah is a compilation of texts that were passed down orally and later written down by different individuals. This lack of known authorship contributes to the understanding of the Torah as an anonymous literary work.
