On the other hand his /hypothesis/ (look that up if you do not understand it) that it was compiled as a myth of origin for a religion which emerged under the Maccabees, is an interesting one, which many better qualified people have hinted at without being specific.

Judaism, as we find it in the time of Christ, certainly emerged under the
Hasmonaeans - but what did it emerge from? Answer: from the religion that we
find in the Biblical prophets. The Hasmonaeans simply added some Greek
culture to the mix.

Now that is a tenable argument, but it is separate from the belief that the mythical kingdoms of the OT were real.

This is a history group.

No, it is an archaeology group.


Duly trimmed.
