Explore the Power of Story and the Truth of the Gospel
From ancient Babylon to Homer’s epics, this course examines the myths that shaped the ancient world—and contrasts them with the historical, prophetic, and gospel-centered story of Jesus Christ. Taught by Rev. Dr. Christian Preus, Pagan Myths & Biblical Truth shows how false religion distorts what is good and beautiful, and how only Scripture gives us a true account of God, creation, man, and salvation.
Through six in-depth sessions, you’ll encounter the spiritual imagination of pagan cultures, wrestle with their myths of gods and men, and come to see with greater clarity why Christ is not myth, but history—and why that changes everything.
Topics Covered in the Course
- What mythology is, and why Christians should read it with discernment.
- How pagan religion begins in sacrifice but devolves into idolatry and moral confusion.
- Babylonian and Greek creation myths compared with the Genesis account.
- Marriage, mortality, and meaning in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
- The modern lie of Christ Myth Theory—and how to refute it clearly and confidently.
- How myth reveals man’s hunger for truth, and how Christ alone fulfills it.
If you’re interested in classical literature, cultural apologetics, or growing in your understanding of how to defend the Christian faith against false narratives, this course is for you.
