The founding Biblical events are based on Exodus from Egypt and the events that occurred at Mount Sinai. The Bible is not based only on philosophical arguments nor on the prophecy of one person or another. However, it focuses on the testimony of a long tradition of prolonged divine revelation, which we have received and transmitted from generation to generation.
Based on this testimony, Biblical tradition treats the words of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible, which are considered to be “GOD’s instruction to humanity”) as an expression of the essence of the divine. The big question is, is this testimony trustworthy? Is tradition really a reliable source of knowledge to learn about the existence of these events? In this section, I will explain why belief in the Jewish tradition is a logical and rational choice, and why it is the best-case scenario over the position that contradicts it.
Even before the evidence for the credibility of the tradition, we will discuss two preliminary issues: One, whether traditions are trustworthy, and the other, whether we should believe in traditions that speak of miracles and supernatural events.
