Shaping the Son of God: The Literary Evolution of Jesus | with Dr. Dennis R. MacDonald
Shaping the Son of God: The Literary Evolution of Jesus | with Dr. Dennis R. MacDonaldOur culture is well-populated with superheroes: Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and more. Superheroes are not a modern invention; in fact, they are prehistoric. The gods and goddesses of the Greeks, for example, walked on water, flew, visited the land of the dead, and lived forever. Ancient Christians told similar stories about Jesus, their primary superheroāhe possessed incredible powers of healing, walked on water, rose from the dead, and more. Dennis R. MacDonald shows how the stories told in the Gospels parallel many in Greek and Roman epics with the aim of compelling their readers into life-changing decisions to follow Jesus. MacDonald doesnāt call into question the existence of Jesus but rather asks readers to examine the biblical stories about him through a new, mythological lens.Dr. Dennis R. Macdonald has written many books where he discusses mimesis criticism and shows that the gospel writers borrowed form the epic Greek myths to create their Jesus myth. ==================FIND ALL LINKS HERE š https://linktr.ee/mythvision==================RECOMMENDED ONLINE COURSES HERE:šš Checkout MVP Courses to find new and upcoming online courses: https://mvp-courses.com/Dr. Dennis MacDonaldās Course, āReading the Gospels with One Eye on Greek Poetryā - -ā https://mythvisionpodcast.com/homeric-mimesisā Dr. James Taborās Course, āThe Quest for the Historical Paul: Apostle or Apostate?ā - -https://mythvisionpodcast.com/historicalpaulDr. Kara Cooneyās Course, āAncient Egyptian Cosmogony and Cosmologyā - - https://mythvisionpodcast.com/egyptiancreationDr. Joshua Bowenās Course, āMyths Borrowed By The Old Testamentā - - https://mythvisionpodcast.com/ot-mythsDr. Robyn Faith Walshās Course, āThe Gospel Masterclassā - -https://mythvisionpodcast.com/gospelsDr. James Taborās Course, āJesus and The Dead Sea Scrollsā - -https://mythvisionpodcast.com/dssDr. Robyn Faith Walshās Course, āUnforgettable Footprints of the Pauline Legacyā - -https://mythvisionpodcast.com/paulslegacyDr. Kipp Davisās Course, "Real Ancient Israelite Religions" - -https://mythvisionpodcast.com/israelite-religionsDr. Richard Carrier's Course, "New Testament Studies for Everyone" - -https://www.mythvisionpodcast.com/nt-studiesDr. James Taborās Course, "Creating Jesus: Why Markās Gospel Was Forgotten?" - -https://www.mythvisionpodcast.com/firstgospelDr. Dale C.
