Nerd alert.

So before the scientific revolution, and the rise of the "scientific age" in the Enlightenment,
the way ancient cultures "told their truth" was by mythology, analogy, metaphor etc.
The term "mythology" did not carry the negative connotation it does today.

There was a "radical" German scholar, named Rudolph Bultmann,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Bul...al%20Jesus
who wrote a number of brilliant books, including "Jesus Christ and Mythology" trying to integrate his concepts of mythology and Christianity.
Virtually every NT studies program in the world, including all the mainline programs in the Ivy League in the US has his books on the required reading lists.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell Popcorn
