Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions
Being a Comparison of the Old and New Testament Myths and Miracles with those of the Heathen Nations of Antiquity Considering also their Origin and Meaning
T. W. Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions, first published in 1882, belongs to the nineteenth-century school of comparative religion that sought the origins of Christianity in older faiths. Working through the Old Testament and then the New, Doane sets the stories of the creation, the flood, the tower of Babel, and the lives of the patriarchs beside Babylonian, Egyptian, Indian and Greek legends, then does the same for the birth, miracles, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, with chapters on the virgin birth, the trinity, baptism, and the eucharist. Much of its scholarship has been superseded, but the book remains a vigorous document of Victorian freethought. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
