We've got to figure out how to explain this.
And out of that came something known as comparative mythology.
And comparative mythology is the idea.
It was pioneered by someone, Dr. Fraser.
He was a Scottish writer.
He wrote something called The Golden Bough.
And he said, actually, all stories that all cultures tell are the same story.
It's a story of an individual sacrificing themself so that the world can live.
He said, this is a story of Christ.
And this is also the story of the Fisher King.
This is a story of everything.
So he said, actually, really, we don't have to worry about this because all stories are the same.
And so even though it seems like there are these older stories which are different and then the Hebrew Bible is also different.
No, no, no, no.
They're actually all the same story.
And out of that came Joseph Campbell and the hero's journey and the idea that there's a monomyth.
The hero's journey is a very powerful story, and we should, of course, tell it to the extent that it is powerful and that it's useful, but it was created as an attempt essentially to shore up the discovery that if you read the Bible correctly, what it's inviting you to do is to keep going back, not to try and find the true story, but to realize there are more stories of the beginning, and the more you trace those stories back,
the closer you get to God.
And there are more stories to be told in the future.
And this is the kind of thing I think which people miss about, say, for example, science or something like that.
