This series of blanks tests your awareness of the Documentary Hypothesis, in very broad strokes. Answer by putting the appropriate LETTER in each blank.
The hypothesis holds that two sources, known as J and E, each told the ancient history of the people from different perspectives. J looks at the events from the perspective of the southern kingdom; E considers many of the same stories from a northern, Israelite perspective. There is disagreement about which source was written down next. Some believe that it was the source known as D , which was written around the time of King Josiah's reforms, while others believe that it was P , which describes a Tabernacle- or Temple-focused Israelite religion, deeply concerned with issues of purity. The final source, known by the letter R , is identified by some biblical scholars with the Ezra the Scribe.
