Christianity and Mythology (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book challenges conventional understandings of mythology and its role in shaping religious beliefs. The author takes readers on a journey through the history of how scholars have approached the study of myth, highlighting the biases and errors that have often shaped their interpretations. The book explores the concept of myth as a form of traditionary error, arguing that it is not a distinct category but rather an integral part of human attempts to explain the world. From the evolution of myth in ancient Greece to the impact of Christianity, the author examines various schools of thought and their strengths and weaknesses, including the astronomical and symbolical systems of Dupuis, the anthropological insights of De Brosses, and the contributions of Heyne, Buttmann, and Creuzer. The book also explores the persistent tendency to impose theological presuppositions onto the study of mythology, hindering its true scientific understanding. Ultimately, the book seeks to demonstrate that myths, even those deeply embedded in religious traditions, are not mere accretions or embellishments around a historical core. By carefully analyzing the texts and applying a broad understanding of mythology, the author argues that we can unlock a deeper understanding of how myth has shaped our beliefs and continues to influence our world today.
