Twenty years ago some biblical scholars at the University of
Copenhagen were denounced as being nihilists and a threat to
western civilization. What was their crime? They had exposed the
fallacies of traditional historical-critical biblical scholarship,
which was neither historical nor critical. Although the
historical-critical interpretation of the Bible had developed over
a period of more than a hundred years, it had ended up, with the
help of a rationalistic paraphrase of the stories of the Old
Testament, creating a society out of this world called biblical
Israel. Israel was like no other society in the ancient world, and
scarcely a real historic society at all. It was structured like a
house of cards. Therefore, when some scholars began to question the
historical content of the construction of ancient Israel, as it was
usually called, the edifice broke down, first in bits and then
totally. This study addresses the development of 'Minimalism' from
its roots in the historical-critical paradigm and outlines an
alternative theory which exposes and explains the intention behind
the fallacy of using a story found in the Old Testament to simply
invent the biblical concept of Israel.
