Download or read book The Christ Myth written by Arthur Drews and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A facsimile reprint of a controversial book published in 1910 (Chicago: Open Court), which itself was a translation of a third edition (no citation given for the original). Drews, a German philosopher, looks at the mythology of Christ in pre-Christian times and in early Christianity, pointing to evidence that a pre-Christian cult of Jesus existed, and arguing that interest in the life of a historical Jesus is misplaced. He traces many of the stories told about the life of Jesus to the mythologies of the Greeks, Phoenicians, Jews, Sumerians, Hindus, Buddhists, and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ Myth: A Study Napoleon I., in his conversations with Wie land, expressed his disbelief in the historical existence of Christ; but that declaration seems to have made but little impression upon his hearer, and was, apparently, received without comment by later readers of the statement, Napoleon not being considered an authority in such matters, although his logical faculty and mathematical genius were indisputable. At present this question is vital and impera tive. It lies at the basis of the whole struct ure of Biblical criticism, and the answer lurks between the lines in all the reports of modern investigation.

Download or read book Did Jesus Really Live written by Herbert J. Rossington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Did Jesus Really Live?: A Reply to 'the Christ Myth' The interest in Jesus of Nazareth seems to grow from more to more. Each succeeding age discovers in him some fresh attraction, or re interprets in accordance with its own needs aspects of his life and teaching which appealed to former times. In an age of criticism such as ours it is inevitable that much is called in question which once went unchallenged. Hence it need occasion no surprise if Christianity is asked to give an account of itself. In such a case the task of the Christian apologist is not to denounce but to discuss - to indicate that historical criticism is a means of defence and not a mere instrument of attack. Accord ingly this little book attempts to deal suggestively rather than exhaustively with the important issue raised in recent critical works. It is written in the sincere hope that it may prove helpful to some who believe with the writer that the historic personality of Jesus is fundamental to Christian faith.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jesus Problem: A Restatement of the Myth Theory As was explained in the preamble to the historical jesus that work was offered as prolegomena to a concise restatement of the theory that the Gospel Jesus is a mythical construction. That theory had been dis cursively expounded by the writer in two large volumes, christianity and mythology and pagan christs, and summarily in A short history OF christianity, the argument in the two former combining a negative criticism of the New Testament narrative with an exposition of the myth-evidence. Criticism having in large part taken the form of a denial that the records were unhistorical, it was necessary to clear the ground by showing that all the various attempts of the past generation to find in the gospels a historical residuum have entirely failed to meet critical tests. Those attempts, conflicting as they do with each other, and collapsing as they do in themselves, give undesigned support to the conclusion that the gospel story is without historic basis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To Get Rid of Jesus: Prove He Didn't Exist! A popular question posed by Christians today asks, "WWJD?" - which stands for, "What Would Jesus Do?" For more and more Skeptics of Christianity, however, the answer to this question is, "JDNE" - which stands for, "Jesus did not exist!" In this volume, edited by prominent Internet apologist James Patrick Holding, a team of Christian authors provide a series of essays giving detailed answers to those who argue for the "Christ myth." Though rejected by mainstream scholars, this theory continues to grow in popularity among popular writers and Internet antagonists. The need for Christians to be ready to give an answer to it will only become more urgent. "Here's a clear and compelling rebuttal to fallacious claims that keep resurfacing in books and on the Internet. It's well-researched, expertly presented, and ultimately convincing." - Lee Strobel, author, The Case for the Real Jesus

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Mythology Other avocations have made difficult the due revision of this book in the light of the manifold hierological discussion of the past ten years. Since, however, I have seen no reason to give up any of its main contentions, and the growing interest in the central problem is expressed by the demand for a new edition, I have made Shift to improve and expand it at the many points that had obtruded them selves for fuller consideration in the course of my general reading. And there is the further reason for removing the out-oi-print bar under which the book has lately lain, that, latterly as formerly, its most prominent theological critics are industrious in misrepresenting its positions. In this respect neo-unitarians and Trinitarians seem to be at one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ Story The angel knew that She was troubled, and he said to her, Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Then when he saw that she was no longer afraid, he gave her the most wonderful message that was ever brought to a woman in all the years Since the world began. In the days that are to come, he said, God will send you a child. His name Shall be Jesus, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest. God will give him the throne of David forever. How can this be Mary asked; but the angel answered only, The power of the High est shall overshadow you, and the child shall be called the Son of God. It was all so strange that the young girl did not know even what question to ask, but she said meekly, I am the handmaid of the Lord let it be with me as you have said. The face of the angel grew still more radiant as he gazed tenderly upon her, and then he went away. All through the Silent night Mary thought about the words that the angel had spoken.

Download or read book The Christ Myth written by Arthur Drews and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ Myth Since David Frederick Strauss, in his "Life of Jesus," attempted for the first time to trace the Gospel stories and accounts of miracles back to myths and pious fictions, doubts regarding the existence of an historical Jesus have never been lulled to rest. Bruno Bauer also in his "Kritik der evangelischen Geschichte und der Synoptiker" (1841-42, 2nd ed. 1846), disputed the historical existence of Jesus; later, in his "Christ und die Cäsaren, der Ursprung des Christentums aus dem römischen Griechentum" (1877), he attempted to show that the life of Jesus was a pure invention of the first evangelist, Mark, and to account for the whole Christian religion from the Stoic and Alexandrine culture of the second century, ascribing to Seneca especially a material influence upon the development of the Christian point of view. But it was reserved for the present day, encouraged by the essentially negative results of the so-called critical theology, to take up the subject energetically, and thereby to attain to results even bolder and more startling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic resource that connects the cardinal doctrines of Christianity to their origins in the ancient civilizations that preceded the religion. In Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth, John G. 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.
