Open your bibles to the Hebrew Bible, class, today we're talking about mythology. Stephen wonders if there is a sliver of truth to the old stories and wants to know what to do with that. Emily informs us on the types of myths that are told and how they help scaffold our understandings of the world and humanity. Josh says the only thing that keeps him remotely Christian is the mythical nature of it.
