Really? What kind of history are you studying?

So have they been trying to teach you about things like the JEDP hypothesis or other crap like that? Or is it something else that they're getting wrong?

My prof isn't trying to teach my anything. It's just the book gets the history of the religion wrong completely, the basis of the bible wrong..and just pretty much the basis for monotheism.

This is why I _hated_ the first couple of humanities courses I had to take as a freshman. One of my professors wrote this book and it was required reading for the course he taught. I looked at it for a few seconds and never opened it again unless I wanted a good laugh. I think I ended up burning my copy at the end of the course. I don't think I would have passed that course if it weren't for the fact that the second half of the course was on Greek history and culture.
