The Myth Made Fact – Companion Files (Digital Resources)

Product Description

Sample

The Myth Made Fact offers distinct insight into how the common people of pagan Greece and Rome received their myths and used them as guides to virtuous living. By doing so, Dr. Markos helps his readers receive myth in the right spirit: not as historical tales that contradict the Bible, but as testimonies to the yearnings of people who lacked clear revelation but nevertheless hungered and thirsted for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

 In these files, you will receive the following:

1. Bulfinch’s Myths (audio)
To celebrate the release of The Myth Made Fact: Reading Greek and Roman Mythology through Christian Eyes, Classical Academic Press has produced audio recordings of 28 myths from the highly regarded Bulfinch’s Mythology. As you listen to the recordings, the juxtaposition of Bulfinch’s retellings of these myths with Markos’s retellings will enrich your study and understanding of the myths, aiding you as you seek to see “beyond the lustful and wrathful Olympian gods to the One Holy Creator who stands, like Aslan, at the back of all our stories.”We are pleased to be able to present this audio resource—a $20 value—for your use.

2. Bulfinch’s Myths (PDF)
Beautifully designed as an accompaniment to The Myth Made Fact and the audio files, the 28 myths from Bulfinch’s Mythology are available in PDF format. Enjoy following along in the PDF as you listen to the recordings of the myths, or use it independently as resource for further study.
