How old is the Hebrew Bible?
Russell Gmirkin is an independent researcher specializing in the composition of the Torah (or Pentateuch, the first five books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls. He is most well known for his defense of the view that the Pentateuch was written in its entirety by a team of Jewish scholars working in the Library of Alexandria in 273-272 BCE, who also published the Septuagint Greek translation of the Torah around the same time. This is a much later date of composition than has been traditionally accepted, although a significant minority of scholars now support his Hellenistic dating of the Pentateuch.
We are currently doing a video series about his book Berossus and Genesis Manetho and Exodus where he is concerned with the dating of the Pentateuch. Russell is an Old Testament minimalist. In this video we center our attention to the Creation and flood myths taken from the Mesopotamian & Greek myths.
