Abstract:
Thompson insists that the Old Testament is a fantastic literary parable about a mankind that has lost its way, and in the process rejects all Jewish claims to the modern state of Israel. The foundation of the Jewish claim is said to be a myth born of intellectual, philosophical, and mythological tradtions of the great empires of antiquity, and based on the fictions found in the Old Testament.
