Deslisle Burns\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1910, The Christ Myth drew violent criticism from theologians, the press, and the public. Eminent German philosopher Arthur Drews (1865-1935) reacts to the \"romantic cult of Jesus,\" which, he says is undermining intellectual truthfulness. He exposes the Jesus of the gospels as a mythical character, arguing that no basis exists for seeking a historical figure behind the Christ myth. Through a comparative study of ancient religions, Drews shows that Christianity is a syncretism of various pagan and Jewish beliefs, and that a strong pre-Christian cult of Jesus as son of God and messiah existed. This is a valuable sourcebook for students of religion, and all those interested in examining the origins of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur Drews\u003c\/b\u003e (1865 - 1935) was a German writer, historian, philosopher, and one of the most prominent proponents of the theory that Jesus was a mythological figure.
