Indeed. It will help put to rest considerable doubt over the true antiquity of the faith.

FYI, 19th century German higher criticism has been dead and buried for quite a while. Orthodox Christianity has no problem with the "true antiquity" of the faith although liberal Christianity does and this discovery is not likely to change the liberal position any more than previous discoveries.

Thank you for your reply! I should have been more precise. My remark was with reference to secular doubts concerning the true antiquity of the Jewish faith.

Maybe so, but they still teach it in colleges.

Liberal Christianity simply believes that divine revelation is a delusion. Nothing short of the second coming will change their minds about this.
