A formidable task …

… Can you rewrite the Bible? This man has made it his mission - The Jewish Chronicle. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Attempting to answer his own questions, he produced a “feisty” article in which “I took to task modern scholars for spending all their time hunting down Akkadian loan words while they showed no ability to read a story.”

Well, he isn't trying to rewrite it. He's translating it more accurately (and rather gracefully). I might just get a copy.
