I was listening to a history podcast and they mentioned The Foundation series. Said the Galactic Empire and its fall was modeled on Rome, and that the Mule might have represented Mohammed and the Islamic forces that came out of Arabia.
It's not "versions" of Genesis, but rather sources. The Torah is made up of different discrete blocks of text that have their own linguistic characteristics, and that has allowed scholars to separate them into their original parts*. This is still the most accept form of textual criticism of the OT, but when Asimov wrote that, this was especially true. The sources are called J, E, D, and P, and the first two refer to the distinct names they use for God: J (Jahweh) and E (Elohim). Technically, Elohim is a plural form. That's what Asimov is referring to, the possibility that one of the names for God originally was a collective name for "the gods."

Racialized math.
She's awful and treated as the go-to expert for those wishing to dumb down math education in this country.
