Riassunto

The Hebrew bible stole with both hands from Canaanite myth (proof was dug up in Syria in 1928). Biblical scholars agreed to reinter the evidence to maintain the "literal" truth of the Scripture – be it as certain revelation or as dubious historical data. But the Bible is as full of Pagan mythology as a snake's egg is of snake. Here you'll find it cite din full" the sky-gods, world-mountains, war-goddesses, and chaos-dragons — the hydra-head faces of God.

Product Description

The Hebrew Bible stole with both hands from Canaanite myth (proof was dug up in Syria in 1928). Biblical scholars agreed to re-inter the evidence, to maintain the 'literal' truth of Scripture - be it as certain revelation or as dubious historical data. But the Bible is as full of Pagan mythology as a snake's egg is of snake. Here you'll find it cited in full: the sky-gods, world-mountains, war-goddesses and chaos-dragons - the secret heathen dreams of "Monotheism" - the hydra-head faces of God.
