Introduction to the Old Testament The Bible should be considered a Truth- filled, Mythical Text –The authors were not interested in historical or scientific facts –They were interested in communicating the deeper meaning and the eternal or universal truths about the world and human nature –They help us to understand Who we are as humans How we relate to nature How we relate to the divine (GOD!!!)

Introduction to the Old Testament The Biblical authors told Mythical Stories in order to "re-member" the past “Re-membering” – to make present again –It is not simply a memory exercise Reuniting mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually with people and events of the past To make the past “real” again in the present world –A process of becoming a member of the community in which these Biblical events happened

Introduction to the Old Testament Consider how Storytelling (The Prophet Elijah and the Prophets of Baal) and the Symbols & Rituals (praying the Shema, worship at the Temple) of the Cycle of Meaning enabled the Jewish people to become a “member” of the Chosen People of Israel and “re-member” that Yahweh is the one true God
