Is The Bible considered Mythology

Answer 1

To most of the world, yes.

More Information:

Although it is correct to say that The Bible is considered to be mythology, it is important to define the term as it is used by scholars of literary criticism. A "myth" is a story that provides meaning beyond the literal details contained in the narrative. Myths speak to specific cultures or communities, providing common history, identity and spiritual purpose. To say that a story is "myth" says nothing about the story's historical or factual truth.

For further information on Myths, see the writings of Joseph Campbell, particularly The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers

Answer 2

The Christian Bible is a collection of stories and retellings of oral traditions passed down by the Judaic people from prehistory, and from the Christian minority from the time of the Roman Empire (c. 100BC - 200AD). So, by definition, they are legends, since they have a root in truth.

Answer 3

No. Mythology is a collection of myths. Biblical facts, however, have been proven to be true, time after time, by historic documents and archaeological findings.
