patched together into truly great - though at times agonizingly redundant and silly - literature. I have read these interpretations before about J and P. These folk tales spring from a time it was imagined God' intercessinary nature into man's affairs. Gilgamesh has a great flood story too. Obviously there had been a great, great flood in that region at one point that was captured by folktales. You might look up - I found it on youtube series of lectures by Christine Hayes, Introduction to the Old Testament. I have enjoyed it.
