In what ways does the symbolism and language of Celtic mythology reflect Christian thought

Choose one of the six general topics listed below and use it to develop a thesis for your term paper. Please note that most topics call for comparative analysis.Feel free to make use of the literary, artistic, archeological, anthropological, religious and philosophical theories and approaches that have been presented and discussed in class. Use of secondary critical sources is encouraged, but any research you use should only support and augment, not take the place of, your own thoughts and encounters with the myths on this course, and all sources must be properly documented. Keep in mind also that the paper is intended to demonstrate your proficiency as a student and reader of Celtic myth, not your familiarity with criticism on these tales. The paper should be approximately 2500- 3000 words (10 – 12 pages) in length, not including works cited list. Papers must scrupulously adhere to MLA documentation format and be presented in 10 or 12 point font with one inch margins. You must use the coursepack for your source texts.

Topic: Celtic mythology, as we know, comes down to us primarily through the work of various, even handed but largely anonymous Christian scholars: through their work, we have a sense of Celtic mythology as something definitively pagan, and yet related (or at least relatable) to Christianity in various ways. In what ways does the symbolism, analogies, narratives, and language of Celtic mythology reflect Christian thought and/or the hand of the Christian scribes?
