Serious?
but we have to remember that the authors of the different books of the OT are for the very most part totally not influenced by pagan mythics and beliefs, about Gods etc.
​
Are you serious?
​
What does 'very most part' mean?

Re: Serious?
Thanks for the clarification Slevesque, I was a bit taken aback there!
​
I certainly agree with you regarding the later books of the OT, but certainly the early books are heavily influenced by other near eastern cultures. The creation stories, the Flood, Joseph, Moses etc, all show signs of plagiarism from other nations.
​
Thanks again.

Re: Serious?
It isn't clear for historians either. Although these books are allocated to sources, schools of scribes even, the individuals remain anonymous. One thing that is certain, the early books were not the work of one person.
