In this highly controversial and explosive book, archaeologist, historian, mythologist and linguist Acharya S. marshals an enormous amount of startling evidence to demonstrate that Christianity and the story of Jesus Christ were created by members of various secret societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion. In developing such a fabrication, this multinational cabal drew upon a multitude of myths and rituals that existed long before the Christian era, and reworked them for centuries into the religion passed down to us today. Contrary to popular belief, there was no single man who was at the genesis of Christianity; Jesus was many characters rolled into one. These characters personified the ubiquitous solar myth, and their exploits were well known, as reflected by such popular deities as Mithras, Heracles/Hercules, Dionysos and many others throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in detail to that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people. The Christ Conspiracy shows the Jesus character as not unique or original, not âeoedivine revelation.âe Christianity reinterprets the same extremely ancient body of knowledge that revolved around the celestial bodies and natural forces. The result of this myth making has been âeoeThe Greatest Conspiracy Ever Sold.âe… (mehr)

This book is kind of a mess. The author goes for the kitchen sink approach, throwing in everything that seems relevant without making critical distinctions. Despite that, there are enough provocative ideas and obscure facts to make the book worth holding onto -- it just can't be considered a reliable source.

This is fascinating, but don't expect a strictly scientific work. It's considerably more scientific than any work I've ever seen that supports the Bible as history, but I can't say I trust all of her sources. Still, this book is THOROUGH. It delves into a lot of history, writings, conspiracy theories, and speculation. The result is fantastic, one of the best gut-level arguments against Christianity I've ever seen.

I'd recommend it for anyone interested in comparative religion, Christian history, and both reconstructive and mystical paganism. This book suggests that the Bible can be a priceless resource for anyone interested in ritual and esoteric astrology, and anyone looking to research pre-Christian religions. ( )

Not a scholarly discussion. For those who like to see a splash of uncritical mirror reflections between gospel characters and pagan gods and heroes, even modern Dr Spock.
