Campbell's view is that the Virgin Birth miracles Resurrection etc have meaning only because they ARE myths. ---Will Errickson --- _____________________________________________________________ Paperback: 464 pages # Publisher: Bollingen; Reprint edition March 1 1972 # Language: English # ISBN: 0691017840 | | Headline | The Hero with a Thousand Faces | | Copyright Notice | by Joseph Campbell | | URL | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691017840/103-1490610-2991062?wwwcarnavalcom |
