The Pagan Christ

This book is a must-read! I’ve only started it, and as such, I have not yet fully developed my thoughts on it, but I already feel positively engaged by it. I’ll be posting a more in-depth review later in the week. In essence… long before the advent of Jesus Christ, the Egyptians and other peoples believed in the coming of a messiah, a madonna and child with a virgin birth, and the incarnation of the spirit in flesh. These truths were accepted by the early Christian church as rhw tenets of Christianity, but disavowed their origins. Therefore, there was one early universal belief system, based on myth and allegory, that become an institution based on literalism.
