"None of the authors were writing in isolation, each and every one drew from their culture and traditional beliefs....which in turn were related to the beliefs of surrounding cultures"
Have to agree with that Fot an example Paul spoke and quoted the stoics and philosophers etc when speaking to the Romans.
He met them where they were at He spoke in terms that they could understand,quotes they knew from their philosophical leaders.
When in Rome,do as the Romans do.
"creation myths, the flood taken from the epic of Gilgamesh, etc."
Then you said this opinion part spoken as though it were fact,its not,its only opinion
