In the immortal words of Robert Fulgulm and Mercedes Lackey, "If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid."
I'm a mythology buff. I'm not Bible-illiterate, but I don't know as much as I should. I know Greek, Roman, Celtic, and even some other odds and ends of other culture's mythologies. I know some of my own.
So, as a little experiment, I'm going to take a scholastic approach to Bible studying.
Before you get offended, a myth is a story featuring supernatural elements that explain an occurence. Creation tales get their own section across the blanket of the world's mythology. The Bible opens with one. So does Ovid's Metamorphoses. A mythology is a body of myths.
I love me some myths now.
And so, we delve into Christian mythology. I've got a Bible and a e-Apocrypha, a fantasy encyclopedia, and Google. Let's do this.
