      It’s the same stuff I see copypasted everywhere. A lot of it is speculation from like one academic which gets quoted as fact

        I guess you’re referring to Dan McClellan. I’ve consumed a lot of his content via YouTube and his podcast.

        It generally seems like a pretty impartial, critical analysis of the data, rather than speculation. But given that he has dominated my understanding of the data I recognize I’ve got a pretty big blindspot. Where would you point me to refute the view that the bible seems to be a source that has been heavily edited to remove its polytheistic origins?
