Summary

"Mythology among the Hebrews and Its Historical Development" by Ignác Goldziher is a study that refutes the idea that Jewish people have no mythology. The book explores the idea that myths come from nature and how people think. It says myths are universal and not limited to just certain people. The author says that Hebrew myths should be observed the same way as other cultures, pointing out their roots in natural and psychological events. Goldziher also explains the difference between myth and religion, and how mythology is woven into stories like those of the patriarchs and heroes of the Book of Judges, which help us understand Hebrew mythology.
