John G. Jackson

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A classic resource that connects the cardinal doctrines of Christianity to their origins in the ancient civilizations that preceded the religion.

In Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth, John G. Jackson sources the pagan origins of Christian doctrine with particular focus on the creation and atonement myths. Rooted in historical facts, Jackson's claims are steeped in research and demonstrate how Christianity synthesizes the rituals, beliefs, and characteristics of savior gods from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Aztec, and Hindu origins. Initially published in 1941, this concise introduction remains an insightful contribution to comparative religion studies.<
