Description

This book argues against the traditional, historical view of Christianity. Tim Freke and Peter Gandy propose that the Jesus of the New Testament is a mythical figure, and that the Gospels are Jewish adaptations of ancient dying-and-resurrecting god myths such as Osiris and Dionysus. They present Jesus as a spiritual allegory intended to guide initiates on a path of mystical discovery. The authors also contend that beliefs about Adam and Eve, the virgin birth, turning water into wine, and the resurrection are myths rather than literal history.
