How God Became God

In this thought-provoking exploration of Bible scholarship and ancient religion, Richard Smoley uncovers the historical inaccuracies within Scripture, bolstered by contemporary archaeological evidence. While he argues that iconic figures like Moses, Abraham, and Jesus may be more mythical than historical, Smoley emphasizes that these narratives still resonate with profound theological insights. He suggests that the transformative essence of the Bible endures, connecting us to deep, universal truths that transcend individual faiths and reflect the spiritual wisdom of our ancient ancestors.
