Summary

Drawing on the cutting edge of modern scholarship, this astonishing book completely undermines the traditional history of Christianity that has been perpetuated for centuries by the Church and presents overwhelming evidence that the Jesus of the New Testament is a mythical figure.

“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

Far from being eyewitness accounts, as is traditionally held, the Gospels are actually Jewish adaptations of ancient Pagan myths of the dying and resurrecting godman Osiris-Dionysus. The supernatural story of Jesus is not the history of a miraculous Messiah but a carefully crafted spiritual allegory designed to guide initiates on a journey of mystical discovery.

A little more than a century ago, most people believed that the strange story of Adam and Eve was history; today it is understood to be a myth. Within a few decades, authors Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy argue, we will likewise be amazed that the fabulous story of God incarnate—who was born of a virgin, who turned water into wine, and who rose from the dead—could have been interpreted as anything but a profound parable.

0:00.0	Whether you're a religious person or not, the story of Jesus of Nazarene is a
0:05.8	fascinating look at a biblical past with lots of different layers and starts and

0:18.7	Was the original Jesus a pagan God and our author today is going to look at
0:26.2	not only historical Christ, but this individual's work, his legacy, and what we

1:26.0	I'm your host, Cliff Dunning. Wow, things have changed. Here in California, we
1:37.5	have come out of the pandemic. June 15th, our governor has completely abandoned
1:45.2	the restrictions. We can now go and enjoy a restaurant, a pub. You can go to our
1:54.1	local theater if we want. I mean, there's still some restrictions on wearing
1:59.8	masks in crowds, things like that. But not to where it was, where you couldn't,
2:05.7	you know, you had to go to a restaurant that had 20% capacity. I mean, it is

2:18.4	here in Northern California are recovering. I have a number of friends in the
2:25.0	micro-brew business and many of them went out of business. A couple of them, one
2:31.7	one friend who owns a pub, he had to take out a $75,000 loan just to survive 2020 and
2:44.2	barely survived. And I think this is going to be something that we look back on and go,
