[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]an? And the founding of the Jewish religion/people?

I am asking because I bought Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer CDs (and book) for my 6y old to listen. It is a good cd (read by Jim Weiss) and I like to listen to it as well as I love history. However, everything was going well until we came to to point of describing the episode with Abraham being told by God to move to Cannan and being know as the children of God (or something along those lines), etc.

[b]Every mention of religion and Gods up until this point was clearly as a legend/myth/believes. This thing about Judaism was said as a fact. [/b]Aside the obvious problem with this, how can I correct this to my child? Is there any child friendly historic version of why they left to Canann?

The lines are blurred in this book, and while entertaining, I can't in good faith just let it pass.[/quote]

Maybe that's because the author considers everything up until the Bible as being legend/myth/beliefs and everything in the Bible and thereafter to be factual.

This may not be accurate, but it's a popular view:  older religions are myth; ours is real.[/quote]
