ANNAPOLIS, MD - March 2, 2005 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- In an open letter to Bill Moyers sent today, author Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. of Solving Light Books (www.solvinglight.com), has called upon the PBS icon to cease promoting the work of atheist mythologist Joseph Campbell or renounce Christ, one or the other.
"Since 1988 when PBS first aired the six-part series Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, Moyers, an ordained Baptist minister and professing Christian, has ardently promoted the atheistic writing and thinking of the Scripture-bashing Campbell," Mr. Johnson said. Johnson's letter asserts that Moyers has used Campbell's books and tapes over the past eighteen years to delude millions of high school and college students, lure them away from belief in the Scriptures, undermine their faith in Christ, and to profit financially. "For a professing Christian to push Campbell's atheistic works is a flagrantly immoral, self-serving, and deceitful act. It's the ultimate in hypocrisy," Mr. Johnson added.
Johnson points out that during the PBS presentation, Campbell referred to the resurrection of Christ as "a clown act, really." Also, in his book, The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyers), Campbell predicts a happy future for humanity when belief in the God of Israel will be considered "an abomination."
A disciple of Friedrich "God is dead" Nietzsche, Campbell pockmarked his books with passages scornful of those who believe in the Judeo-Christian God, and he proclaimed the defining atheistic belief that God did not create man, but rather, man created God.
According to Johnson, the author of "The Parthenon Code: Mankind's History in Marble," Campbell called all myths "metaphors" to cover up his ignorance of their true meaning. "Moyers used his journalistic platform to promote an atheist as the great 'authority' on myths, and yet one of the many ironies here is that Campbell himself knew virtually nothing about the true meaning of those myths," Mr. Johnson said.

"The moral contradiction here is so obvious, and Moyers' motives and credibility are so questionable, one has to wonder why and how the PBS leadership in particular and the American media in general have let him get away with this irreverent sham for so long," Mr. Johnson added.

Parthenon and Genesis
Eden, Noah Depicted in Ancient Greek Art describes a new book that, playing on the popularity of the The Da Vinci Code, is called The Parthenon Code, by Robert Bowie Johnson Jr. The Parthenon Code compares the story of Genesis in the Old Testament with the story the Greeks recorded about their own genesis on the Parthenon and on vase paintings.
The Five Ages of Man
The Greek poet Hesiod's story of the creation of mankind.
From the press release for "The Parthenon Code"
"The author shows that Greek myth/art tells the same story as Genesis except from the standpoint that the serpent enlightened Adam and Eve in Eden rather than deluding them. "In their vase-paintings and sculptures, ancient Greek artists take us back through Noah and the Flood to a woman, a serpent, and an apple tree in an ancient paradise," Mr. Johnson said. "Greek art portrays the myth, and Greek myth explains the art. Once you see the Genesis connection, Greek myth/art becomes easy to understand. The Greek artists meant for us to understand it," he added.
"Six ancient vase depictions of the Greek version of Eden and five sculptures relating to Eden appear in the book.
"According to the author, an authentic ancient Greek artists' code, designed to clearly portray Greek religious history to the masses, first appeared in about 600 BC and reached its highest form with the sculptures of the Parthenon, the national symbol of Greece, completed in 432 BC.
"The Parthenon Code reveals that the ancient Greeks rejected the Creator God of Noah in favor of "man as the measure of all things." Thus, Greek myth/art celebrated the re-emergence of the way of Kain (Cain) after the Flood, and the rebirth of the serpent-friendly Eve, whom the Greeks worshipped as Athena. The Greeks called Noah Nereus, the "Wet One," and dated the beginning of their contrary religious outlook from the latter years of his life, depicting the patriarch's image on many vases, seventeen of which appear in the book. :lol
