mind could never independently comprehend

Yahwist (J) - treats God as anthropomorphic; uses the name Yahweh throughout
all of its writings

Northern Kingdom; focuses on prophecy and on the fear of an impersonal and
divine God; uses the name "elohim" for God before the revelation of the divine
name
Priestly (P) - composed census lists, genealogies, numbers, dates, laws, and
proper ways to worship; attentive to order and the proper place of things; wrote
during the Babylonian Exile
cosmology - study of the cosmos, of creation, of all that exists; not analogous to
