What if the parts of Christianity that could actually help us build a better world have been hiding in plain sight all along? Underneath the blood-soaked metaphors and fanatical devotion, there are real, human values—like compassion, courage, and care—that still resonate today.
Welcome to ‘Mythologizing the Bible’—where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”
As we reflect on the readings for the 4th Sunday of Easter, we’ll explore how ancient metaphors, coded authority claims, and dramatic storytelling can obscure the very values that once drew people in—values we still need today.
In this episode, we’ll consider how the early message of mutual care and shared responsibility can inspire us to resist fanaticism and reject control-based religion. Because if Christianity has anything left to offer the modern world, it’s in the way it can still spark ethical action—without needing supernatural justification.
