Descriptions

If you believe the Biblical writers were onto something but aren't persuaded by the sentimental religion-of-love rhetoric prevalent today, you might find hope in reading this book. Did you know that the Creation Myths in the Bible were adapted from earlier Mesopotamian myths? Or that the story of Moses is based on a figure named Sargon? Or that the story of Job is rooted in political themes? Additionally, did you know that the two loaves, five fishes, and the number 153 hold symbolic meanings? These are just a few of the issues explored in this provocative book, which is not for those who prefer to view God as an Indefinable Mystery.
