It restores my faith in humanity a tiny bit that you have young people and a professor all discussing in the classroom together, thinking together, and having fun...instead of killing each other.

Is there a playlist for all of the lectures in this series? If there an update on the URL where the lecture materials can be obtained?

Every civilization has a Flood story. It's either a massive coincidence, or it's the same flood...

Nearly every culture. In Africa, for example, not every mythological system has a prominent flood myth, though some do. That need not be a coincidence or all related to one flood though. It could also mean that floods are common worldwide and we are a species that tends to live near major bodies of water, often being very dependent on them in the ancient past. That makes it understandable that there'd be many flood myths.

I can't believe this guy is a professor. The university should fire him. He seems to next to know nothing about the subject he is supposed to be teaching.

@John Bedson - He seem to know the literature that sees no history described in Genesis and the book of Genesis itself. Also, the view of Jacob's sons as the central point of Genesis is defensible: the people of Israel in the 9. or 8. century BC wanted to see themselves as one family and, therefore, told the story how their mythical ancestor Jacob gave rise to the different tribes in their land. The rest of Genesis is likely later addition.

Israel was NOT a family of related tribes. This entire presentation was baseless, and used a text as history when it is the historical origins of that text itself, and what THIS tells us about the origins and nature of ancient Israel, that should be the subject matter of biblical studies. Are those students really to go away thinking "Ah, Genesis gives us factual information about the origins of ancient Israel and can be used as a source in that regard"? I repeat: case absolutely NOT proven.

I do not think this professor is claiming that the Genesis story can be used as face value history. I think that he is saying that if you analyze the text to determine what is behind them in order to get to history then that is valid. In fact he explicitly says that he is not using the text of the bible as face value history. Also notice that he makes conclusions of the possible instead of definite ones which in some ways is very honest and also teaches students to think critically instead of just receiving fed answers.

@lampauleybaby - I agree that the historical text can tell us about the time when they were written. I would further hold that there is no history in Genesis other than what we can learn about the authors of the stories and their times. And these times were much later, in the Iron Age, after writing had become more widespread, maybe as late as the 8. century BC. . . . But I'm not sure that the presentation contradicted that: he said that sons of Jacob seem to have been added dependent on how many groups later existed, which would be in line with current bible scholarship.
