The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ

The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ [Kindle Edition] By D.M.Murdock This small book is a fascinating look at the stories in the bible from a different angle.It focuses on the author's theory that Christianity originated from ancient mythology and Sun Worship, and that Christianity as a whole can be explained away as simply a by product or an evolution of earlier myths and beliefs. It is an eye opening book that appears to be backed up by mulitiple sources and his arguments are quite interesting. Of course there are many Christians who would argue (and indeed do) that this book is way off track and that its sources are debateable or outright incorrect. However when you look at certain things in the bible it is easy to find many simalarities and connections to the movement of the sun and its journey around the constellations. I have quite an open mind and have been on my own personal journey in and out of Christianity since I was about 17, and I will simply say that this book is a thoughtful book that makes you wonder. 3/5
