Title: Mythologizing Jesus
Description: Dennis MacDonald shows how Gospel stories parallel many Greek and Roman epics from walking on water to visiting the land of the dead to compel first-century readers into life-changing decisions to follow Jesus. MacDonald doesn t call into question the existence of Jesus but rather asks readers to examine the Gospels through a new, mythological lens.
