The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Acharya S

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.

The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Acharya S

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.

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.… (more)

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.
