Walter,

This is nothing so very new or unusual.  The Literary Critics said many years 
ago that the Pentateuch (or Hexateuch) was a composite which was only brought 
into being at a considerably later date than the putative date of Moses.

Dear All,
It just occurred to me that there is a certain similarity
between what the necromancer said when she saw
Samuel rise up (out of the grave) and what the doubting
Thomas said when he saw Jesus (rise up out of the grave).
