I disliked the opinion that "the stories of the origin in the [Torah] are Babylonian myth and the rest is party or mostly myth" and so I looked up this PhD Professor Amy-Jill Levine at www.thegreatcourses.com and did not see any evidence to support the claim that she regards the Torah as being based upon myth.

Is there such a thing? As Dr Amy-Jill Levine of Vanderbuilt explains it in her Old Testament lecture series, the stories of origin in the Hebrew bible, Torah, etc are lifted from Babylonian myth and the rest is partly or mostly myth (it is not even universally accepted among scholars that King David was a real person). Thanks!
