Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162624594)

Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology is a book written by John M. Robertson that explores the similarities between pagan religions and Christianity. The book argues that many of the stories and beliefs in Christianity can be traced back to earlier pagan religions, and that Christianity was heavily influenced by these religions. Robertson examines various mythologies and religious practices from ancient cultures such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and compares them to Christian beliefs and practices. The book also discusses the historical context of the development of Christianity and the role of pagan religions in shaping it. Pagan Christs is a comprehensive study of the similarities and connections between pagan religions and Christianity, and provides a unique perspective on the origins and development of the world's most popular religion.1911. The bulk of the present volume is substantially a synthesis of Christian origins, introduced by a discussion of the principles of hierology. Such discussion is still forced on sociology by the special pleaders of the prevailing religion. But the central matter of the book is its attempt to trace and synthesize the real lines of growth of the Christian cultus. The work is divided into four parts entitled: Rationale of Religion; Secondary God Making; Mithraism; Religions of Ancient America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
