What Is at the Root of Our Culture?

I think it's the same thing that happens when someone both creates and edits a great movie. Each choice is guided by some intuition of narrative suitability or beauty, or there's some higher ideal motivating it. That was certainly the case with the disney movies, for example. And so i would say, well, something like that guided the writing and the selection of the stories in the biblical canon. Now, could have there been other stories included? While the catholics and the protestants don't the same biblical tradition, and neither do the jews and the christians. Could it have been different? It could have been different at some levels, but the same at others.
