While some understand the term "myth" to mean "something that's not true," that isn't what biblical or literary scholars mean when they use the term.  For scholars, "myth" is the literary term for certains kinds of storytelling. Jeanne and Jennifer explore a range of meanings for the term "myth," and discuss how reading the Bible as myth opens up a range of rich, valuable interpretations.
