101 Myths of the Bible: How Ancient Scribes Invented Biblical History -- by Gary Greenberg; Paperback

I checked it out of my public library and found it fascinating.

For example, the book described two Egyptian gods, Tohu and Bohu, who personified conflict. Imagine my feelings when a few weeks later I saw a notice in the Parisian underground which referred (in French) to the tohu-bohu of travelling on the underground!

Where Genesis says in English that "the earth was void and without form," the original says that it was "tohu-bohu."

Amazing the way words and ideas persist.
