Download or read book The Bible among the Myths written by John N. Oswalt and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixty years ago, most biblical scholars maintained that Israel’s religion was unique—that it stood in marked contrast to the faiths of its ancient Near Eastern neighbors. Nowadays, it is widely argued that Israel’s religion mirrors that of other West Semitic societies. What accounts for this radical change, and what are its implications for our understanding of the Old Testament? Dr. John N. Oswalt says the root of this new attitude lies in Western society’s hostility to the idea of revelation, which presupposes a reality that transcends the world of the senses, asserting the existence of a realm humans cannot control. While not advocating a “the Bible says it, and I believe it, and that settles it” point of view, Oswalt asserts convincingly that while other ancient literatures all see reality in essentially the same terms, the Bible differs radically on all the main points. The Bible Among the Myths supplies a necessary corrective to those who reject the Old Testament’s testimony about a transcendent God who breaks into time and space and reveals himself in and through human activity.

Download or read book Greek Myth and the Bible written by Bruce Louden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Gilgamesh epic, we have known that the Bible imports narratives from outside of Israelite culture, refiguring them for its own audience. Only more recently, however, has come the realization that Greek culture is also a prominent source of biblical narratives. Greek Myth and the Bible argues that classical mythological literature and the biblical texts were composed in a dialogic relationship. Louden examines a variety of Greek myths from a range of sources, analyzing parallels between biblical episodes and Hesiod, Euripides, Argonautic myth, selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and Homeric epic. This fascinating volume offers a starting point for debate and discussion of these cultural and literary exchanges and adaptations in the wider Mediterranean world and will be an invaluable resource to students of the Hebrew Bible and the influence of Greek myth.

Download or read book Rape Myths, the Bible, and #MeToo written by Johanna Stiebert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical studies is increasingly interdisciplinary and frequently focuses on how the Bible is read, received, and represented in the contemporary world, including in politics, news media, and popular culture. Rape Myths, the Bible and #MeToo illustrates this with particular and critical assessment of #MeToo and its rapid and global impact. Rape myths – in particular the myth that rape victims are complicit in the violence they encounter, which consequently renders sexual violence ‘not so bad’ – are examined both with regard to current backlash to #MeToo and to biblical texts that undermine the violence perpetrated by rape. This includes aggressive media attacks on the accusers of powerful men, as well as depictions of biblical rape victims such as Dinah (Genesis 34), Bathsheba, and Tamar (2 Samuel 11–13). Biblical studies channels and expresses wider cultural and political manifestations. This exemplifies that the influence of ancient texts is abiding and the study of the past cutting edge.

Venerable classicist and historian Robert Graves recounts the ancient Hebrew stories, both obscure and familiar, with a rich sense of storytelling, culture, and spirituality. This book is sure to be riveting to students of Jewish or Judeo-Christian history, culture, and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his groundbreaking book, 'Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions,' T. W.

Doane's meticulous research and comparative analysis shed light on the universal themes and motifs that transcend various faith traditions, challenging readers to reexamine their beliefs and perspectives on religion. Written in a clear and informative style, this book serves as a valuable resource for individuals interested in exploring the interconnectedness of religious narratives and the implications for modern religious practices.

His academic background and research in religious studies equipped him with the tools needed to undertake such a comprehensive comparative analysis, bridging the gap between different belief systems and uncovering the underlying similarities that unite them. I highly recommend 'Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions' to readers seeking a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical influences shaping religious narratives. Doane's insightful exploration of common mythic themes offers a fresh perspective on the intersections of faith traditions, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in religious studies and mythology.
