EP 117: "From Ancient Writings to Sacred Texts" by S.A. Nigosian: Myth, Ancient Texts, and Religion

EP 117:

Watch on YouTube.

In this episode, @tete.depunk and I (@fortunusgames) talk about a book we've both read, "From Ancient Writings to Sacred Texts" by S.A. Nigosian.   

We covered the following: 

-How the book fleshed out Biblical texts and other Near Eastern ancient texts and mythos. 

-How I first came across the book in university  

-How @tete.depunk reacted to the book and how it presented a different worldview of Christianity than the version she had grown up with in a strict Protestant Christian (Charismatic) household.  

-How @tete.depunk’s Andrei (protagonist of her novel, “70 Fierce Years”) loves him some Near Eastern mythology, such as The Epic of Gilgamesh.  

We were soon joined by our friends, @helevorn_bor and @ryzacobalion, who appeared in the chat section with their awesome comments and questions!
