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

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!   Check out the Google preview of the book here: https://www.google.ca/books/edition/From_Ancient_Writings_to_Sacred_Texts/gpAAKpmMHYoC?hl=en&gbpv=0  Buy @helevorn_bor's "Lucky Wolf" novel here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRez6x8l9lr/
