Like many early mythologies, it takes some historical facts, and blows them up with huge hyperbole.

Some of it may be historically accurate (as histories go), but all of it almost certainly not. Considering it was passed down orally for a couple hundred years before it got put down in writing and then was copied and copied and copied and translated and translated and translated, it is likely to be mostly inaccurate. I mean, some parts are lifted wholesale from previous religions! There are a bunch of contradictions. My final verdict is, it's a really old book. Read it as a book. There is not one single book in the world that has all of the answers to life's persistent problems. But there is some wisdom to be gleaned from it.

thanks for your posts so far, I know the question has been asked about 100 times this week, but I'm asking to get some perspectives for a christian theology class, and I couldn't find any of the others on the collective.
