	A NORTHROP FRYE READER
		The reason is that mythology is not a proto-science: it expresses human beliefs and fears and anxieties and passions and aggressions, in its context of a tradition or revelation assumed to come from an authoritative though ultimately mysterious source.
		Mythology is not a datum but a factum of human existence: it belongs to the world of culture and civilization that man has made and still inhabits.
		The primary function of mythology is to face inward toward the concerns of the society that possesses it—which is why science, which faces outward toward the operations of nature itself, is a late cultural development.

	The Truth about the Jewish Scriptures 1. Jewish Mythology. AskWhy! Publications.

	Biblical Literalism
		The biblical understanding of creation is not being pitted against evolutionary theories, as is supposed; rather, evolutionary theories are being juxtaposed with literalist theories of biblical interpretation.
		And to compound the confusions, these biblical "facts" are then treated as belonging to the same level of discourse and family of concerns as scientific facts, and therefore supportable by scientific data, properly interpreted.
		While it is true that the biblical view of creation sanctifies time and nature as created by God and therefore good it does not follow that the creation accounts as such are to be understood chronologically or as natural history.

	Mythic Rhythm: In Response to Joseph Campbell's Alleged Anti-Semitism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		And a new mythology is rapidly becoming a necessity both socially and spiritually as the metaphors of the past, such as the Virgin Birth and the Promised Land, misread consequently as facts, lose their vitality and become concretizedâ (6).
		Mythology is not history, although myths like that of Eden have been frequently misread as such and although mythological interpretations have been joined to events that may well have been factual, such as the crucifixion of Jesusâ (Campbell 78).
		Thus the idea of history as not being mythology is raised, and although there are some who would debate that, stating that historical events lead to myths, that myths are not exactly historically accurate is not debated any longer.

	Mythology, The Bible and the Postflood Origins of Greek History.
		Many apparent contradictions in Greek mythology are resolved through a Biblical interpretation, The classical writers and most mythologists since have assumed they could erect a chronology of these myths merely by adding up the names of the various kings cited by the various kinglists.
		From a Biblical perspective it seems obvious that the true key to mythic chronology lies not in adding up kinglists, but rather by starting from the event most common to all genealogies: the flood.
		The Arcadian account repeats the Biblical theme of this man's evil and his committing murder;5 the stories from Argos are reminiscent of a Hebrew legend that Cain established the first market6.

	Sommerland: Biblical Dragons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		However, the lack of influence from Zoroastrian mythology, including dragons such as Azhi Dahaka (also Zahak) or Angra Mainyu (Ahriman) (Curtis, 1993) hardly seems to matter, when we consider the numerous tales of heroes and gods battling dragons which existed during this time, including Heracles and the Hydra, and Apollo and Python (Bauckham, 1993).
		However, we must also keep in mind the historical emphasis of such verses, for not everything has a singular meaning, and low mythology is often used to explain a historical occurrence, in a way that is no less credible to readers.
		The Biblical story of Bel and the Dragon is an alternate version of Daniel's deliverance from the lion's den (Sayce, 1903).

	Reviews of 'Mythology's Last Gods: Yahweh and Jesus'
		Starting with the origins of religious beliefs and the describing the religious culture of the ancient environment that birthed the bible, and proceeding thru to Christianity, Harwood shows how the biblical God was created and shaped thru centuries by different authors with different agendas.
		Harwood constantly is tutoring the reader with research on almost every subject, for example, how a social customs of a certain period changed from an earlier custom or belief, and how it was then re-written into a biblical text, which can be shown with period writings and different versions of religous texts.
		It is quite apparent that the author harbors intense anger perhaps as a result of his own research which he admits culminated in the shattering of his religious faith.
