Questions and Answers on the Bible

This text presents a series of questions about discrepancies in the biblical accounts and the unknown author’s own answers. Given the author’s apparent familiarity with Armenia and with Christianity, the text was probably written in northern Mesopotamia. The answers to the questions included here rely on careful biblical exegesis rather than rabbinic thought, although the author was nevertheless a Rabbanite Jew. The headings were added by the translator.
