Nonsense. That's not at all the reason I like Gmirkin's theory. As for "supporting" his theory -- yes, I do find myself correcting the presentation of some of Gmirkin's ideas when I see them misrepresented here. But there are other theories extant about a Hellenistic origin of the Pentateuch and I find myself thinking about them all, comparing them, thinking through specific details of different theories.Secret Alias wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 12:15 pm
You're whole support of the hypothesis is that you can't disprove the idea that the Pentateuch was written in 270 CE.
I'm still learning, trying to get on top of more of the evidence. But yes, I will post in response to what I see as misinformed statements about Gmirkin's -- and others' -- views, too.
