Was Christ the first Christ Figure?
I have no trouble at all with the suggestion that a lot of Western literature owes a lot to the Bible. I have somewhat more difficulty with the use of the phrase "Biblical archetype", as though said archetypes had never appeared before the Bible, and as though the Bible's authors owed nothing to previous literature.
Merry Christmas.
