Book Synopsis
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.
