Pagan Christs

Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology is a book written by John M. Robertson that delves into the similarities between pagan religions and Christianity. The author explores the idea that many of the stories and beliefs in Christianity can be traced back to earlier pagan religions, particularly those of ancient Egypt and Greece. The book examines the history and mythology of these religions, as well as the rituals and practices associated with them. Robertson argues that Christianity is not a unique religion, but rather a product of cultural borrowing and adaptation. He also discusses the role of symbolism and allegory in both pagan and Christian traditions. Overall, Pagan Christs provides a detailed and thought-provoking analysis of the connections between different religions and their impact on the development of Christianity.1911. The bulk of the present volume is substantially a synthesis of Christian origins, introduced by a discussion of the principles of hierology. Such discussion is still forced on sociology by the special pleaders of the prevailing religion. But the central matter of the book is its attempt to trace and synthesize the real lines of growth of the Christian cultus. The work is divided into four parts entitled: Rationale of Religion; Secondary God Making; Mithraism; Religions of Ancient America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
