The Stick of Judah Lecture Series

Mike Day and The Documentary Hypothesis

January 29, 20261 min read

This month’s Stick of Judah Lecture Series features Dr. Mike Day tackling one of the most complex and important questions in Christianity, "Who wrote the Bible?" More specifically the Old Testament. If you’ve ever heard claims that the Bible was stitched together from different sources and wondered what that means for faith, this lecture is for you.

Instead of treating biblical scholarship as something to fear, Dr. Day shows how the Old Testament reflects a real, historical process of people encountering God, preserving sacred traditions, and passing them down over time. The Bible didn’t drop out of the sky fully formed—and that turns out to be a strength for the restoration of the gospel and The Book of Mormon, not a weakness.

This lecture is for anyone who’s heard claims about multiple authors, editing, or contradictions and wondered how to make sense of it all without losing confidence in scripture. Expect clear explanations, honest answers, and a fresh way to see the Old Testament as a living covenant record shaped by God working through real people in real history.

Below is the link for Mike's powerpoint presentation so you can review and dive deeper into the content.
