Did a "minimalist" indirectly admit Judges 1 doesnt contradict Joshua

Who is this Blenkinsopp guy and why is he worth a thread?Well done. Out of the zillions of people who disagree with you, you've found one that you can interpret as possibly contradicting other "minimalists" who are not him and do not share or endorse his views.Huzzah!

Well, I don't really care that much.Perhaps you could name me the world's top ten scholars of the Koran. No cheating and looking it up, mind.Some guy has written some thing which seems to you to contradict the opinions of other people who have written other things that you disagree with.What of it? If this Blenkinsopp guy could prove that his opinion was true, then that would be marginally interesting. Instead you're getting all excited about him having some opinion which it seems that you do not believe is proven and which you don't ascribe to.What's the point?
