| Summary | "Bible Myths and their Parallels in Other Religions" by T. W. Doane is a scholarly examination written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the myths and narratives found in the Old and New Testaments, comparing them with similar stories from various ancient religions. Doane's work aims to uncover the origins and meanings behind these biblical myths, suggesting that they might not be unique to Christianity. The opening of the text presents an introduction in which the author explains the genesis of his research on biblical myths and their parallels with pagan narratives. He states that the book endeavors to trace the roots of various biblical stories, starting with the creation myth found in Genesis and moving through the accounts of key Old Testament figures and events. Doane notes the existence of discrepancies within these biblical accounts and proposes that many biblical myths share common traits with ancient religions, such as the Persian and Babylonian traditions. He sets the stage for a thorough exploration of these narratives in the forthcoming chapters, signaling an in-depth investigation into the evolution of religious stories across cultures.
