The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169182264)

""The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ"" by Gerald Massey is a book that explores the origins and development of Christianity, particularly the figure of Jesus Christ. Massey argues that the traditional depiction of Jesus as a historical figure who performed miracles and was crucified is a myth, and that the story of Jesus is actually an amalgamation of various mythological and astrological motifs from ancient Egypt and other cultures. Massey draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative mythology, to support his thesis. He also examines the role of Christianity in shaping Western civilization and argues that a deeper understanding of the true origins of the religion can help us to better understand our own cultural heritage. Overall, ""The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ"" is a provocative and thought-provoking book that challenges traditional beliefs about the origins of Christianity and the figure of Jesus Christ.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gerald Massey's Lectures, by Gerald Massey.
