Introduction

DID YOU KNOW KING SOLOMON WAS WIDELY BELIEVED TO BE
A MAGICIAN WHO WORKED MIRACLES AND CONTROLLED SPIRITS?

AND THAT MANY PEOPLE VIEWED JESUS IN THE SAME WAY,
OFTEN DEPICTING HIM WITH A WAND?

This entertaining, thought-provoking, and meticulously researched narrative examines the wealth of ancient beliefs that dramatically influenced the development of Christianity. This narrative expertly demonstrates how belief in magic, the imminent arrival of an apocalyptic savior and man's divinity merged into a cultural expectation that shaped the legendary status of a lowly carpenter and forever altered how the west would see the world.

Both devout and subversive in the best sense, MYTHS OF CHRISTIANITY makes a provocative case that many widely-held beliefs concerning the nature of God, the origin of the Devil, the role of prophets - even the identity of the Son of God - may not stem from Hebrew religion at all, but from numerous ancient traditions, including ancient Persian and Roman cults.

Distinguishing between uplifting Christian principles and stifling customs, this engaging and relatable account sets aside many of the dogmatic, and often divisive traditions so entrenched in our culture by revealing their lost origins.

Personal and often humorous, MYTHS OF CHRISTIANITY provides an honest and faithful study of the history and foundation of Christianity so we can better understand the true, life-affirming role Christianity is meant to play in our lives.

You may be surprised, you may be overwhelmed, you may even be troubled, but you will certainly never look upon Christian tradition the same way again!
