Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John G. Jackson is a concise yet provocative exploration of the parallels between Christian doctrines and ancient pagan mythology. Drawing on comparative religion and historical analysis, Jackson argues that many key elements of the Jesus story—such as the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection—are not unique to Christianity but were present in earlier religious traditions from Egypt, Greece, India, and beyond.

In this pamphlet 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.

Ethiopia’s history is incredible and a treasure to...

The information presented in this audiobook is absolutely crucial if atheists and other free thinkers are to understand the nature of the beast that thr...

“Insurance,” he said, hefting the Winchester to a port-arms position. The feel of cold steel and the smell of well-oiled wood went a long way in eliminating any fear he felt. The tree of them moved into a dawn filled with mist and uncertainty. “What happened to Denise could happen to me,” said Carlton as he nervously fiddled with is jackets cuff while looking expectantly at her. “How is that for being honest?” What he found in Anna’s dark, European eyes was compassion.
