Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Walter Mattfeld <mattfeld AT mail.pjsnet.com>]

As the readers of this list are well aware the past 25 years has seen 
new paradigms or models being proposed by the likes of scholars like 
Philip R. Davies, Niels Peter Lemche, Fred Cryer, Thomas L. Thompson and 
Bernd Joerg Diebner, urging that the Wellhausen model be replaced as an 
explanation for the origins of the OT. They have proposed that the OT is 
in fact a Post-exilic creation. They vary in their dating proposals, 
ranging anywhere from the 5th-1st centuries BCE.

My research supports the findings of these scholars. I now offer to the 
interested readers of this list my latest paper titled 

Fulfilled Prophecy and the Old Testament, Clues to the Bible's Hasmonean 
Origins. 

In this paper I argue that the OT was created between the 2nd-1st 
centuries BCE, using 'prophecy-after-the-fact' to align the OT's 
prophetical texts with the achievements of the Hasmonean Era.
