But to glean from those tales the clues and hints of a loving, creator God, you must put them in the times these stories were told traditionally. They were buffed, polished, pumped up, and added to in order to capture the attention and memories of the hearers. They are allegories. The story of Little Red Ridinghood has important lessons for the intended audience, but that doesn't mean a big ole wolf dressed up in grandmother's clothes! Match up recent archeological discoveries and assessments with the stories of Moses. It's fascinating and uncanny, not to mention educational and fun.
