Prophets Between Myth and History:An Inquiry into the Sacred Stories of the Abrahamic Religions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What if the sacred stories of the prophetsthe bedrock of Judaism, Christianity, and Islamare not what they seem? What if the line between historical fact and ancient myth is far blurrier than we've been taught in church, synagogue, or mosque?

PROPHETS BETWEEN MYTH AND HISTORY is a groundbreaking and accessible investigation into the untold truths behind the most revered figures of the Abrahamic religions. This book fearlessly confronts the questions that scholars have debated in academic circles for decades but which rarely reach the public.

INSIDE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:

• THE MYTHIC ORIGINS OF ADAM AND NOAH: Uncover how the stories of Creation and the Great Flood share a surprising ancestry with older Mesopotamian myths like the Epic of Gilgamesh.
• HISTORY'S MISSING MEN: Investigate the archaeological silence surrounding Abraham and Moses and explore the compelling evidence that the Exodus as described in the Bible may never have happened.
• THE TWO FACES OF JESUS: Contrast the historical Jesusan apocalyptic Jewish prophetwith the divine Christ of faith, and understand how one became the other.
• MUHAMMAD BETWEEN HISTORY AND HAGIOGRAPHY: Delve into the gap between the historical Muhammad and the perfected Prophet of Islamic sacred biography, examining the earliest sources and inscriptions.
• HOW RELIGIONS BORROW: Trace the fascinating "recycling of revelation," from Zoroastrian ideas about heaven and hell to the shared narratives that connect the Quran and the Bible.

Perfect for readers of Bart Ehrman, Reza Aslan, and Karen Armstrong, PROPHETS BETWEEN MYTH AND HISTORY is not an attack on faith, but an invitation to a more mature, resilient, and intellectually honest spiritual journey. If you have ever doubted, questioned, or simply been curious about the historical truth behind your faith, this book is your essential guide.

Unlock the secrets of the past and begin your journey to a faith after facts today.
