'Origin Myths and Holy Places in the Old Testament' examines the biblical narratives which describe the origins of holy places. It argues for the Hellenistic origin or redaction of most of these narratives. Three central questions are addressed: are there common features in biblical accounts about the foundation of places of worship; are there elements in the aetiological stories that reveal the 'real' mythology/rituals of the sanctuary; what were the circumstances of the creation of such narratives?

This book is a detailed examination of the literature and archaeology pertaining to specific sites (in Palestine, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Memre, Nazareth, Capernaum, and elsewhere) and the region in general. Taylor contends that the origins of these holy places and the phenomenon of Christian pilgrimage can be traced to the emperor Constantine, who ruled over the eastern Empire from 324. He contends that few places were actually genuine; the most important authentic site being the cave (not Garden) of Gethsemane, where Christ was probably arrested. Extensively illustrated, this lively new look at a topic previously shrouded in obscurity should interest students in scholars in a range of disciplines.

Early Christianity had its origin in the eschatological ministry of Jesus. After his death, his initial followers banded together to form an apocalyptic messianic Jewish sect, known as Judeo- Christians, during the late Second Temple period in the 1st century. Initially, the prevailing belief was that the resurrection of Jesus marked the beginning of the end of times. However, over time, this perspective evolved into anticipating the second coming of Jesus and the beginning of the Kingdom of God at a future time. References: Fredriksen, 2018. Barnett, Paul (2002). Jesus, the Rise of Early Christianity: A History of New Testament Times. InterVarsity Press. p. 21. ISBN 0-8308-2699-8. Alister McGrath, former professor of historical theology at the University of Oxford, claims that many of the “Jewish Christians” of the first century were completely faithful religious Jews. Referencia: McGrath, Alister E. (2006). Christianity: An Introduction. Blackwell Publishing. ISBN 1-4051-0899-1. p. 174: «In effect, they [Jewish Page 1 de 389 Christ and his myths Christians] seemed to regard Christianity as an affirmation of every aspect of contemporary Judaism, with the addition of one extra belief — that Jesus was the Messiah. Unless males were circumcised, they could not be saved (Acts 15:1)». Historically, Christians of Jewish descent who adhered to the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law constituted a significant part of Christianity in the 1st century. However, due to the tumultuous historical events that affected Palestine during that period, this current experienced a considerable dispersion. Over time, this community diversified, giving rise to a series of groups with diverse theologies and beliefs. In the West, these Judaizing Christian variants became extinct during the 4th century, while in the East, their decline lasted until the 6th century. The Christian movement has its genesis in Palestine as a Jewish sect of an apocalyptic messianic type, which evolved in the Roman world from the 1st to the 4th century, in groups of Judeo-Christian Romans with a Hellenic imprint and symbology, many of the parables of the New Testament have a marked Pythagorean aesthetic. The authorship of the term "Judeo-Christianity" is attributed to a liberal Protestant biblical exegete, Ferdinand Christian Baur, founder of the Tübingen school, in an article published in 1831. Christianity in the First Century encompasses the formative history of Christianity, from the beginning of Jesus' ministry (c. 27-29 AD) to the death of the last of the Twelve Page 2 de 389 Christ and his myths Apostles (c. 100) (and therefore Therefore, it is also known as the Apostolic Age). Early Christianity spans several historical periods, each of which played a crucial role in the development of the Church. The ancient church era is generally divided into several stages, including the period of the apostolic fathers, the apologists, the early Christian martyrs, the church fathers, and the late ancient imperial church. This period extends from the early days of Christianity to the Council of Chalcedon in the year 451 and is considered an integral part of the history of the Church. In the Western Church, the early church era often extends to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Some authors extend this period to the papacy of Gregory the Great (540-604), considered the last father of the Western Church. Gregory is also recognized in the Eastern Church. This extension marks the end of a crucial phase in the history of the Church and is characterized by the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Paul of Tarsus, also known as Saul of Tarsus or Saul Paul, and venerated as Saint Paul (born in Tarsus, Cilicia, around 5-10 AD and died in Rome in the year 58-67), is recognized as the "Apostle of the Gentiles", the "Apostle to the nations" or simply "the Apostle". This influential character played a fundamental role in the founding of Christian communities and stood out as Page 3 de 389 Christ and his myths an evangelizer in important urban centers of the Roman Empire, such as Antioch, Corinth, Ephesus and Rome. In addition to his work as a preacher, Paul was the author of some of the first canonical Christian writings, including the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, considered the oldest known. His impact on early Christianity is undeniable, establishing himself as a leading figure and one of the most influential personalities in the entire history of Christianity. References:Brown (2002). Introduction to the New Testament, II, p. 557: "Along with Jesus, Paul has been the most influential character in the history of Christianity." Vidal García (2007). Pablo. From Tarsus to Rome, p. 11: "Obviously, Paul's presence in early Christianity was not that of a simple witness, but that of a qualified and, in several aspects, unique actor.” Analysis of the authentic epistles of Paul of Tarsus reveals the unique amalgamation of his Jewish roots, the profound influence of Hellenic culture, and his remarkable interaction with the Roman Empire. The letters written by Paul offer a fascinating vision of his identity, in which his Jewish heritage converges, which shaped his spiritual perspective, the rich influence of Hellenic culture that formed his thought and expressions, and his notorious connection with the Roman Empire. , to which, according to the story in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, he held citizenship. This complex combination of cultural influences and identities underscores the diversity that Page 4 de 389 Christ and his myths characterizes Pablo's life and work, highlighting his ability to adapt and communicate effectively in different contexts. His ability to resonate with both Jewish and Gentile audiences, as well as his role in spreading the Christian message in the cultural melting pot of the Mediterranean world, contribute to cementing his position as an extraordinary figure in religious and cultural history. of early Christianity. The early community of Jerusalem marked the beginning of Christian gatherings after Pentecost, developing between the 1930s and 1970s. In Christian history, early Christianity refers to the emergence of faith after the death of Jesus around the year 30 or 33. Some scholars place its conclusion with the writing of the synoptic gospels around 90 AD, while others associate it with the appearance of the apologists in the second century.

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2022 Book of the Year Award (Biblical Studies) Craig Bartholomew's The Old Testament and God is the first volume in his ambitious four-volume project, which seeks to explore the question of God and what happens to Old Testament studies if we take God and his action in the world seriously. Toward this end, he proposes a post-critical paradigm shift that recenters study around God. The intent is to do for Old Testament studies what N. T. Wright's Christian Origins and the Question of God series has done for New Testament studies. Bartholomew proposes a much-needed holistic, narrative approach, showing how the Old Testament functions as Christian Scripture. In so doing, he integrates historical, literary, and theological methods as well as a critical realist framework. Following a rigorous analysis of how we should read the Old Testament, he goes on to examine and explain the various tools available to the interpreter. He then applies worldview analysis to both Israel and the surrounding nations of the ancient Near East. The volume concludes with a fresh exegetical exploration of YHWH, the living and active God of the Old Testament. Subsequent volumes will include Moses and the Victory of Yahweh, The Old Testament and the People of God, and The Death and Return of the Son.

This collection of essays seeks to demonstrate that many biblical authors deliberately used Classical and Hellenistic Greek texts for inspiration when crafting many of the narratives in the Primary History. Through detailed analysis of the text, Gnuse contends that there are numerous examples of clear influence from late classical and Hellenistic literature. Deconstructing the biblical and Greek works in parallel, he argues that there are too many similarities in basic theme, meaning, and detail, for them to be accounted for by coincidence or shared ancient tropes. Using this evidence, he suggests that although much of the text may originate from the Persian period, large parts of its final form likely date from the Hellenistic era. With the help of an original introduction and final chapter, Gnuse pulls his essays together into a coherent collection for the first time. The resultant volume offers a valuable resource for anyone working on the dating of the Hebrew Bible, as well as those working on Hellenism in the ancient Levant more broadly.

Myth as a category is often explicitly denied as being present in the Bible. Studies of Israelite religion take a largely historical approach. 'The Archaeology of Myth' highlights the importance of mythological categories in discussing any religion, and especially Israelite religion. The essays explore key biblical narratives and themes - Jacob's dream, the story of Dinah and Shechem, the seventy sons of Athirat, the old men of Deuteronomy - tracing their development from primitive forms to biblical text. The book offers a theoretical analysis of the biblical treatment of myth and its role in the shaping of memories and values.

Sixty years ago, most biblical scholars maintained that Israel’s religion was unique—that it stood in marked contrast to the faiths of its ancient Near Eastern neighbors. Nowadays, it is widely argued that Israel’s religion mirrors that of other West Semitic societies. What accounts for this radical change, and what are its implications for our understanding of the Old Testament? Dr. John N. Oswalt says the root of this new attitude lies in Western society’s hostility to the idea of revelation, which presupposes a reality that transcends the world of the senses, asserting the existence of a realm humans cannot control. While not advocating a “the Bible says it, and I believe it, and that settles it” point of view, Oswalt asserts convincingly that while other ancient literatures all see reality in essentially the same terms, the Bible differs radically on all the main points. The Bible Among the Myths supplies a necessary corrective to those who reject the Old Testament’s testimony about a transcendent God who breaks into time and space and reveals himself in and through human activity.
