| abstract | - Christian mythology is the body of traditional narratives associated with Christianity from a mythographical perspective. These traditional narratives include, but are not limited to, the stories contained in the Christian Bible. The term "mythology" used here does not imply that the stories are fictional; it refers simply to their narrative structure and history. Over the centuries, Christianity has divided into many denominations. Not all of these denominations hold the same set of sacred traditional narratives. For example, the books of the Bible accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox churches include a number of texts and stories (such as those narrated in the Book of Judith and Book of Tobit) that many Protestant denominations do not accept as canonical.
