Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus proposes a provocative new
theory regarding the date and circumstances of the composition of
the Pentateuch. Gmirkin argues that the Hebrew Pentateuch was
composed in its entirety about 273-272 BCE by Jewish scholars at
Alexandria that later traditions credited with the Septuagint
translation of the Pentateuch into Greek. The primary evidence is
literary dependence of Gen. 1-11 on Berossus' Babyloniaca (278 BCE)
and of the Exodus story on Manetho's Aegyptiaca (c. 285-280 BCE),
and the geo-political data contained in the Table of Nations. A
number of indications point to a provenance of Alexandria, Egypt
for at least some portions of the Pentateuch. That the Pentateuch,
drawing on literary sources found at the Great Library of
Alexandria, was composed at almost the same date as the Septuagint
translation, provides compelling evidence for some level of
communication and collaboration between the authors of the
Pentateuch and the Septuagint scholars at Alexandria's Museum. The
late date of the Pentateuch, as demonstrated by literary dependence
on Berossus and Manetho, has two important consequences: the
definitive overthrow of the chronological framework of the
Documentary Hypothesis, and a late, 3rd century BCE date for major
portions of the Hebrew Bible which show literary dependence on the
Pentateuch.

The Believers Church Bible Commentary presents the best of modern
scholarship in an accessible, practical form. The commentary
emphasizes the special concerns of readers from the Believers
Church tradition.
At the end of each chapter, an article on "The Text in the Life
of the Church" highlights how the Scripture passage applies to the
daily practice of Christian faith. Some of the themes that the
Believers Church Bible Commentary underscores are believer's
baptism, submission to the rule of Christ in the church, and
following Christ in personal sacrifice and service.
