What if Judaism—as we know it today—wasn’t always there?

In this powerful episode of MythVision Podcast, host Derek Lambert sits down with world-renowned Yale scholar John J. Collins to explore one of the most provocative ideas in biblical studies: the “invention” of Judaism.

Dr. Collins argues that:

- Judaism didn’t fully exist before the Babylonian Exile

- The Torah was shaped and compiled over time

- Key practices like Sabbath, purity laws, and identity markers emerged much later than most assume

- Apocalyptic thinking shaped not only Judaism—but early Christianity itself

You’ll also discover:

- What “apocalypse” really means (hint: not just the end of the world)

- Why Genesis may be misunderstood—especially regarding creation and gender

- How “biblical values” are often contradictory and misused today

If you think you understand the origins of the Bible… this conversation will challenge you.
