The author states that there is nothing new in Christianity, providing well researched similarities between Jesus Christ, and previously worshipped deities in the ancient world. The key figure in Christianity wasn't the first to perform miracles, have a virgin birth, die and rise again, and wash away sins. The parallels to gods before Christ are striking and though provoking. In "Christianity Before Christ," you will be exposed to the information the Chrisitan church doesn't want you know. The Bible contains stories that were borrowed from other cultures, re-writing previously known myths - such as creation stories and the worldwide flood mythology. Did you know Jesus wasn't the first messiah to descend into hell, and have a second coming promised? This work breaks down the different prevailing mythos the scripture writers used to create Jesus. Did you know that Mithra was thought to have 12 followers, have a birthday celebrated at Christmas time and a resurrection at Easter? Krishna was also the second member of his holy trinity, performed miracles, and his birth narrative is similar to the slaughter of the innocence, a story borrowed in the gospels. Many have pointed out how closely the virgin Mary's life was similar to Isis, the mother of Osiris, from the ancient Egyptian religion. Horus and Jesus both were both baptized at the age of 30, after years of silence. The book explores the origins of Christianity and the influence of astrology and shows how Jesus was a sun god. This work also probes the possibility that Jesus never actually existed in human history and was a myth. Jackson looks at the gospel contradictions in the birth and crucifixion accounts and examines the many pagan beliefs that were adopted by Christians.
