Buy this course today and get lifetime access to eight 30-minute lessons

Riveting and controversial, the "FINDING MOSES" lecture series takes you on a deep dive into the stories of Moses, the exodus, the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, and their relevance for society today...

Was Moses a historical figure or are the stories about him completely legendary?

Exodus — fact or fiction? What does the evidence say?

Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy — who wrote the books that contain these stories...and when?

What do the 10 Commandments really mean? Where they only meant for Jews...or Christians too?

The Book of Exodus still shapes the beliefs of billions, but is it based

on fact?

Riveting Intel Covered

  • Is there any evidence the exodus actually happened? Do other ancient sources mention it? Have there been any archaeological discoveries?
  • Is there any evidence that millions of Israelites “wandered in the wilderness” for forty years?
  • Are the books  Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy consistent with one another? Are there any contradictions...
  • Was the ancient religion of Israel “legalistic”? Did Jews have to keep all the laws given to Moses in order to earn salvation? 

Controversial Discussion Topics

  • What do the Ten Commandments really mean? Are there some that are widely misunderstood today?
  • Are the Ten Commandments only for Jews or for other people as well? Are Christians expected to keep them?
  • How relevant are the laws of Scripture for society today? What about the law condemning homosexual relations? Or the one that forbids selling a daughter into slavery...
  • Does the law of Moses indicate that wives are the property of their husbands?
  • Did God really order the Israelites to destroy their enemies, including all the elderly, the women, and the children?

Travel Back in Time to the Beginning 

Total Value: $25

What if the first five books of the Bible weren’t written by Moses at all? In this eye-opening course, Dr. Bart D. Ehrman walks you through the most important discovery in modern biblical scholarship: that the Bible is not a single book by a single author, but a patchwork of sources woven together over centuries. Beginning with the Pentateuch—the foundational texts of Genesis through Deuteronomy—this course reveals the literary seams, historical contradictions, and theological agendas that have shaped what we now call “Scripture.”

From creation myths to Mosaic laws, Dr. Ehrman shows how these texts reflect not one voice but many—each written in a different time, for a different purpose, and with different ideas about God, Israel, and the world. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or just curious, you'll gain the critical tools to read the Bible with fresh eyes—and understand why these ancient stories still provoke such deep debate today.
