A Copernican revolution in biblical and anthropological studies

By Mauro Biglino
Author ‘Gods of the Bible’

Excerpts

Mauro Biglino has been studying so-called sacred texts for 30 years in the belief that only a direct knowledge and accurate analysis of the ancients' writings can help to truly understand the religious thought deriving from centuries of history.

The Bible, is a book “inspired by God.” That is what we have been taught. It contains the absolute truth — so say the theologians. More than half of humanity bases its existence and life values directly or indirectly on the Bible. As a result, the Bible has become the basis of an immense power structure. Any mistake could raise suspicion that this monstrous giant was, in reality, a giant on clay feet.

Since the beginning of my professional career as a Bible translator, I have never stopped finding errors in the Bible particularly in the Old Testament. Not just minor typos and mistakes but downright forgeries and tendentious mistranslations. Gods of the Bible, is my latest effort in this twenty-five years long research, but I still feel the fil rouge [red thread] with that first pink block note was never broken. The same spirit moved me, understanding how such a fragile text as the biblical, could become the foundation of a monstrous power system and religions followed by billions of people.

Few books in the history of humanity have been written, rewritten, added to, corrected, changed, and censored as often as the Bible. The text of the Bible, mainly fixed after sixth century BC, but based on older oral and written traditions, is one of the most fragile, unreliable texts in human history. What should surprise us is not so much that someone is looking in it for traces of an ancient advanced civilization, but the fact that someone — theologians — could build absolute truths on such text, with a dogmatic approach that has often become in history and often still becomes fanaticism.

The bible is not a holy book

There is no way to prepare a traditional readership for the hypothesis I seek to test in Gods of the Bible, starting precisely from the Hebrew translations and demystification of theological, spiritualizing readings. Therefore, let me declare right off that the Bible is not a holy book. In antiquity, the term “holy” was understood as everything “reserved” for deity. This term has by no means the spiritualistic value we ascribe to it today. The protagonists of biblical accounts all move within a materialistic and immanentist horizon, very concrete and tangible.

From the necessity of harmonizing the biblical text with the theological and monotheistic conception of God of Western culture arises a whole series of falsifications and mistranslations, in view of which that first innocent printing typo I discovered twenty-five years ago really seems like a “speck in the eye of the brother.” Instead, here we talk about massive logs that have remained in our eyes for hundreds and thousands of years, so long we even ignore our blindness. In Gods of the Bible, I tried to remove at least some of these logs, addressing subjects such as the story of creation, the origins and evolution of humankind, the existence of angels, the nature of cherubim, the identity of Satan, the meaning of the name Yahweh and many more.

To be clear, I propose a literal interpretation that allows me, and all those who adhere to it, to read the Bible, and particularly the Old Testament, from the advantage point of distancing myself from the theological filters that have buried the “sacred text” for thousands of years, making it unreachable and unusable.

Biblical scholarship and theology hopelessly oppose each other

Monotheism arose quite late on the roots of a previously widespread polytheism that affected all the peoples of the ancient Near East, including the Israelites. Professor Mark Smith of Princeton Theological Seminary wrote extensively on the polytheistic roots of the Bible and long development of monotheism from an earlier polytheism.

Often, however, these findings remain isolated. They certainly do not penetrate the realm of doctrine, except in a form purified of its most radical consequences, and therefore do not influence popular piety and practiced religion. Scholars in this field tend to defuse their most controversial results to avoid conflicts between theology and biblical scholarship. On the contrary, I think one of the greatest hindrances to reading the Bible is theology.

I don’t deny the existence of God in general; I only say that God is not present in the Bible. Luckily so! This supposedly loving God theologians have come up with shows himself in the Old Testament as a cruel, sadistic, manipulative, and narcissistic individual.

Cargo Cults

I use the paradigm “cargo cults” to speculate on the arrival in antiquity of civilizations much more advanced than ours. Our ancestors would then develop rituals, myths, and narratives that today we consider fairy tales but perhaps hide a very different reality, the reality of an extraordinary encounter with a superior civilization.

All the peoples of the Earth tell us the same thing about superior beings who came from the sky, who created humankind and gave them knowledge, teaching them how to grow crops, write, predict the course of the stars, build incredible structures, and work metals. Is it possible all the peoples of the Earth, independently from each other, developed the same stories, the same narratives about their past?

Theological filters

Monotheistic theology deprived us of the possibility of treating the Bible like any other ancient source to be studied objectively. If treated as any other ancient source, the Bible could say much about the history of humankind before saying anything about God.

But here lies the problem. Nobody knows anything about God, yet priests and theologians claim the right to interpret the Bible according to their theological schemes. It is frankly unbelievable that literal reading of the Bible could represent such a Copernican revolution in biblical and anthropological studies. This circumstance says much about theology’s deforming, obscurantist power when applied to an ancient book. Continue at https://grahamhancock.com/biglinom1/
