This book helps us resolve some of the mysteries and contradictions
that evolved during the Bible's pre-written legacy and that persist
in the Great Book today. Most biblical scholars acknowledge that
both the Old and New Testaments were orally transmitted for decades
before appearing in written form. With great reverence for the
Bible, Dundes offers a new and exciting way to understand its
variant texts. He uses the analytical framework of folklore to
unearth and contrast the multiple versions of nearly every major
biblical event, including the creation of woman, the flood, the ten
commandments (there were once as many as eleven or twelve), the
names of the twelve tribes, the naming of the disciples, the Sermon
on the Mount, the Lord's Prayer, and the words inscribed on the
Cross, among many others.
