I was at my first synagogue service this weekend, my son was invited to a friend's bar mitzvah, and while there I had a chance to read one of the commentators introduction to the Torah that was on hand in the pews. He argued against the fundamentalist view that the Torah is the actual word of God, and that it is instead representative of the jewish peoples' search for God. The notion that people wrote the bible and not God is a modern day one and is another example of history's effect on religion, imo.
