{"product_id":"christ-myth-andrew-drews-9781573921909","title":"The Christ Myth","description":"First published in 1910, The Christ Myth drew violent criticism from theologians, the press, and the public. Eminent German philosopher Arthur Drews (1865-1935) reacts to the \"romantic cult of Jesus,\" which, he says is undermining intellectual truthfulness. He exposes the Jesus of the gospels as a mythical character, arguing that no basis exists for seeking a historical figure behind the Christ myth. Through a comparative study of ancient religions, Drews shows that Christianity is a syncretism of various pagan and Jewish beliefs, and that a strong pre-Christian cult of Jesus as son of God and messiah existed. This is a valuable sourcebook for students of religion, and all those interested in examining the origins of Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Drews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573921904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573921909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.26w x 1.02d","brand":"Arthur Drews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985176133887,"sku":"9781573921909","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12c6cc04-6743-4f20-809f-2086733dbe1c.jpg?v=1683276003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christ-myth-andrew-drews-9781573921909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
