The Scholastic Approach

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.
