| The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? by Three Rivers Press save your time, save your money |
| The authors offer nothing new. Rather, they spend a lot of time congratulating themselves on what a great job they have done and reciting the list of other books they have written that they think are just super and that you should also buy. They also seem to resent the amount of money other others (lesser authors, in their opinion) have made writing about the same subject. - It is not funny. It is not now. It's not much of anything. So save your time and save your money. |
| The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? by Three Rivers Press Whether you agree or not...the arguments and material presented is solid. |
Some like to argue the sources for this book are older and not well known. Well compare this to Strobels, Case for Christ who's only written source is the New Testament.
The arguements, claims, and opinions are made based on the best material available in the Jesus Mysteries.
It seems they do take a harder line than necessary at times to prove that Jesus didn't exist.
HOWEVER, this is so much factual historical evidence...it should help anyone make a decision on their own.
Great read. Started with a chapter a day until Chapter 4...then couldn't put it down.
I'm a non-christian but still spent time recently reading the Case FOR Christ, watching the DVD, and still read the New Testament.
I mention that...because reading any topics in this area...one needs to have an open mind.
This is a great read and I will be reading more of their books. |
| The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? by Three Rivers Press A Must Read - A Must Have |
| I came across this book during my study of the Quran, in Chapter 9 verse 30, where it is mentioned that `The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of God and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of god." Such are the baseless things they utter with their tongues, following in the footsteps of the former unbelievers.' This led to my research on the `former' prevailing religion at the time which was Osiris-Dionysus. I thank the authors from the bottom of my heart on writing such an insightful book, right on the subject. Although some of the issues in the book are very controversial and quite debatable but still the notes and references provided by the authors are plausible. I would recommend this book to everyone, a book one should always have in their personal library. |
| The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? by Three Rivers Press Great Book! |
| I really loved reading this book, then I bought "Jesus and the Lost Goddess" by the same author, and it was good, but this one is better. If you enjoy this book, you should also read Freke and Gandy's book called "The Second Coming." It's very different, they seemed to be having more fun writing that one. I think they did all their heavy research in the earlier books and then decided to lighten up a little! I have to say, the "Jesus rant of 2000 years of pent up rage" at the end of the Second Coming book is worth the entire price alone!!!! I recommend reading this book, as well as the others they've written. |
| The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? by Three Rivers Press This book will make you think |
It is a fact that there is no historical proof that a man named jesus ever lived. The gospels have long been in question as a reliable account of his life, we don't even know who wrote them!
Now it comes to light that jesus was modeled on earlier hero figures from different pagan religions and does that come as a suprise? No.
It is clear that the figure of Jesus was stolen from earlier beliefs, remodeled a bit and presented by the early christians as their particular hero and now everybody eats it up.
The pagans way back when knew the christians stole their stuff. It's just so long ago now that hardly anybody remembers it today.
It is simply amazing to me that we take a figure such as jesus, with so little to go on, and absolutely present him as a real life beeing.
It is clear that the early christians and the catholic church have done much to obscure the truth.
Just look how edited the New testament is, how much was changed, thrown out or accepted in. And this was done by humans, not a God.
They left in what they wanted People to read. And that's a fact. |

“Whether you conclude that this book is the most alarming heresy of the millennium or the mother of all revelations, The Jesus Mysteries deserves to be read.”
-- Fort Worth Star -Telegram
What if . . .
* there were absolutely no evidence for the existence of a historical Jesus?
* for thousands of years Pagans had also followed a Son of God?
* this Pagan savior was also born of a virgin on the twenty-fifth of December before three shepherds, turned water into wine at a wedding, died and was resurrected, and offered his body and blood as a Holy Communion?
* these Pagan myths had been rewritten as the gospel of Jesus Christ?
* the earliest Gnostic Christians knew that the Jesus story was a myth?
* Christianity turned out to be a continuation of Paganism by another name? |
