Pagan Christs by John M. Robertson

Description

'Pagan Christs' is a book by John M. Robertson, first published in 1903. In this work, Robertson presents a comparative analysis of various myths and religious traditions, including those from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and other cultures. He argues that certain aspects of the Jesus Christ story, such as the virgin birth, the death and resurrection, and other miraculous elements, have parallels in earlier myths and legends. Robertson suggests that many elements of the Christian narrative can be traced back to earlier mythological figures and cults. Robertson's thesis is that Christianity is not a unique God-man religion. He posits that many other religions preceded it and that there is solid evidence that Christianity's scribes, who compiled the New Testament, borrowed liberally from earlier traditions. Common themes include the virgin birth, public execution, burial, and resurrection, which are also found in the stories of deities like Mithras. Robertson's work has been influential in the field of comparative religion and has sparked discussions about the origins of religious narratives and the historical authenticity of religious figures.
