THE PAGAN CHRIST
There are 2.1 billion Christians on the planet – roughly one third of the
entire human population. At the heart of their religion is the New Testament and
the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. To Christianity,
the written word is the glue that binds the faith of its followers.
So, what if it could be proven that Jesus never existed? What if there was
evidence that every word of the New Testament – the cornerstone of
Christianity – is based on myth and metaphor?
Based on Tom Harpur's national bestseller, The Pagan Christ examines these very
questions. During his research, Harpur discovered that the New Testament is
wholly based on Egyptian mythology, that Jesus Christ never lived, and that –
indeed – the text was always meant to be read allegorically. It was the
founders of the Church who duped the world into taking a literal approach to the
scriptures.
