Mythologizing Jesus
Mythologizing Jesus
About this book
Dennis MacDonald shows how Gospel stories parallel many Greek and Roman epics from walking on water to visiting the land of the dead to compel first-century readers into life-changing decisions to follow Jesus. MacDonald doesn t call into question the existence of Jesus but rather asks readers to examine the Gospels through a new, mythological lens.
