Bull the Savior

In this audio program, Dr. Bolchazy examines the motif of the bull throughout ancient religion. Additionally, the connections between depictions of the bull within such ancient belief systems as the mysteries of Mithras, the mysteries of Cybele, the Dionysiac mysteries, Egyptian religion, and Hebrew religion are discussed. The traditional roots of communion are touched upon in addition to the influence that surrounding civilizations had on early Hebrew theology. On an even more interesting note, we discover the identity and significance of the infamous golden calf from the Hebrew book of Exodus.
