At the beginning of creation, God first called into existence the highest of his creatures: the angels. The seraphim, the cherubim, the archangels, and the guardian angels were created to live in everlasting love with the Holy Trinity. But it was Lucifer, the noblest of God’s angels, who used the gift of his freedom to protect his pride rather than serve His Lord. Lucifer fell from the Divine presence and into the abode we call Hell, Sheol, the Pit, and, now called Satan, the Devil, and the master of the demons who fell with him, Lucifer’s fall would bring sin and darkness into God’s created order.

Who is God? We begin our story of salvation history with a consideration of that mysterious, almighty, longed-for being who is the source and end of the human drama: God. What is He like? Why did He create? Who is He, and who are we? The Christian narrative begins with these questions, and they will set the stage for those great questions that will define the whole trajectory of the story of the human race: where are we going, and how do we get there?

Much of what it means to be converted in mind to Christianity is to understand and embrace the central narrative of the Faith. Through a 33-part audio series, PrimeMatters.com presents the Christian mythic narrative from beginning to end. Encounter the story of God and His plan for the human race in salvation history, found within the pages of the Bible and beyond. While much of this story is found within the Sacred Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, it extends from before the creation of the world to Jesus' reunion with His Church at the end of time.

While the word "myth" has come to mean "untrue account," we mean something quite different. Throughout the long ages of human life and culture, myth has been a way of expressing deep truths. And so, here, "mythic narrative" means "meaningful account." Indeed, it is an account that might be entirely true... or mostly false... or somewhere in between. We know where we stand, but that's for each listener to discover.
