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.

Urban Legends of the New Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the New Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the Greek language. For each New Testament text, professor David Croteau describes the popular, incorrect interpretation and then carefully interprets the passage within its literary and historical context. Careful attention is given to sound principles of biblical interpretation to guide readers through the process and reach a more accurate understanding of each text’s meaning. With examples from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, Urban Legends of the New Testament will not only help readers avoid missteps in these forty texts but also provide a model for engaging in correct interpretation of other New Testament passages.

Excerpt from Myth and Legend in the Bible This is a book for ordinary readers. As a journalist, I have tried to make its story as plain and interesting as anything in the newspapers. The facts it contains will come as a great surprise to many people; but this is not because they are new knowledge - it is only because they have not been popularized. Though you may find them in the Home University Library and the People's Books, which two firms of publishers sell cheaply, one must be a student to dig them out. The truth about the Bible, a popular book, ought not to be so technically told. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book takes the bible and asks the questions that the church does not want you to ask. This book has taken some of the major events in the bible, and analyzes them for authenticity. This book will not only invalidate many of the claims the bible makes, it will also show how the bible often contradicts itself. Contradictions from the creation of the universe, to the resurrection of Jesus. While the church claims the bible is the word of god, this book will show that the bible is merely a collection of myths and legends, and often borrowed from other mythologies.
