Motifs are a big part of Moyers's interviews with Dr. Campbell. There are so many motifs, it is difficult to know where to begin. The resurrection motif is one that Dr. Campbell discusses in many belief systems. Christianity was not the first to use it. The temptation motif is another common motif in different belief structures.
