#2562 - Dan McClellan
Summary
Dan McClellan discusses the historical origins of biblical texts, arguing that Genesis and the New Testament were largely composed centuries after the events to serve political or social needs. He compares the Moses narrative to Sargon of Akkad and explains how the "delay of the parousia" led to contradictory teachings on celibacy in Paul’s letters. The conversation also covers the Kuntillet Ajrud inscription, the Tower of Babel’s connection to Babylonian history, and the evolution of ancient writing systems.
