Description of  Myth Became Fact: Storytelling, Imagination, and Apologetics in the Bible

The Secret to Understanding the Bible, Storytelling, Imagination and Apologetics Myth Became Fact is a collection of essays by Brian Godawa about storytelling, imagination, apologetics and the Bible. Some of them have appeared in the novel series, Chronicles of the Nephilim and some have been published in various magazines or journals. Here are the Chapters and what you will learn if you read Myth Became Fact: Old Testament Storytelling Apologetics Israel shared mythopoeic images with their pagan neighbors: The sea dragon of chaos, and the Storm god. These are polemical apologetic concepts used by Biblical writers to show the incomparability of Yahweh. But how does this subversion differ from syncretism, or blending Christianity with paganism? Biblical Creation and Storytelling: Cosmos, Combat and Covenant Creation stories in the ancient Near East and the Bible both express a primeval battle called Chaoskampf, the fight of deity to create order out of chaos. But how do they differ? The Universe in Ancient Imagination A detailed comparison and contrast of the Biblical picture of the universe with the ancient Mesopotamian one. Does God communicate material structure or theological meaning? Is the Bible full of ancient superstitions and false science or is there something deeper going on here?
