There are almost 3000 years of high culture and folklore preceding
the Book of Genesis. Many of the stories that we consider to be
original to the Bible are in fact shared across many cultures in
slightly variant forms. Fables of the Sumerians, the Persians and
other cultures have found their way into what Christians and Jews
claim to be factual, historical records of events. Even the story
of Jesus has antecedents dating back to 1000 years BCE. Dr. Mark
Welter of St. Cloud State university teaches World History and the
perspective of World Religions and will be our guest today for a
discussion on the unsure footing on the rock of
Christianity.
