Faithlore: The Invented Reality

Crosby claims that much of the Bible is myth. Since some myth may be true the next step is to label that part of myth adjudged to be untrue such as folklore. But myth and folklore are not necessarily the same. Lore serves further as an interpretation elucidation embellishment or spin upon the myth. This lore in turn may help clarify ones beliefs or it may enable one to see more clearly what is essential to ones faith or nonessential. Crosby follows the exegesis and biblical criticism norms of Albert Schweitzers quest of the historical Jesus with emphasis on mythus pioneer David Friedrich Strauss. Theology meets biology and physiology in culmination with all biblical study. This takes place in the sapiens brain the supreme source of all language and imagination via which we invent the reality in which we choose to dwell.
