   Well I'm firmly convinced of the latter-day-invention theory. There probably   
   as much in the Bible borrowed from elsewhere as backdated but, that   
   hardly dates the N.T. The N.T. dates to when it was compiled as the N.T.   
   and in the context of Christianity, not from whatever point in time it's   
   oldest "source" material came from.
