About this Item

Print on Demand. This book examines new research which reveals the influence of Oriental mythology upon the writers of the New Testament. It explains how the story of the Virgin Birth, for example, was influenced by ancient Mesopotamian stories of how the birth of a great hero was often attributed to a god. The author argues that this mythological influence does not detract from the importance of Christianity; instead, it shows how the early church used the myths of its time to express profound spiritual truths. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
