One of the fundamental elements of Christianity is the belief in Jesus as a historical figure who was born at a specific time and place, performed tangible miracles, was martyred on the cross, and then resurrected just as the New Testament states. But are there extrabiblical evidence for all of the above? Is this a true story or just another myth?

Description

One of the fundamental elements of Christianity is the belief in Jesus as a historical figure who was born at a specific time and place, performed tangible miracles, was martyred on the cross, and then resurrected just as the New Testament states. But are there extrabiblical evidence for all of the above? Is this a true story or just another myth?

This question is examined by Mythicism, a stream of thought that argues that many gods of antiquity, including Jesus, were not real individuals, but mythological characters that shared common archetypal elements and in several cases symbolized natural phenomena such as the Sun, weather conditions, geological changes, and more.

The first Mythicists began investigating the problem of the historicity of Jesus in the late 18th century. Since then, additional elements have been recorded by academics, historians, theologians, and independent researchers that shed more light on the mystery of Jesus's life.

This book brings together the views of several contemporary representatives of Mythicism who present their positions for the first time to the Greek public. The journalistic research of Mina Papageorgiou consists of seventeen interviews with scholars and university professors that respond with well-grounded evidence and serious arguments to the question: was Jesus a historical figure or not?

This research features exclusive interviews with: Dr. Robert Price (theologian), Dr. Maria Dzielska (historian), Dr. Gerd Ludemann (theologian), Dr. Gunnar Samuelsson (theologian), Dr. Lena Einhorn (biologist and historical researcher), Dr. Payam Nabarz (author and revitalizer of the temple of Mithras), Earl Doherty (historian), D.M. Murdock / Acharya S (author and researcher of comparative mythology), Kenneth Humphreys (author and researcher), Joseph Atwill (author and researcher), Neil Godfrey (coordinator of the Mythicist blog Vridar), Fritz Heede (director), Fransesco Carotta (linguist and researcher), Daniel Unterbrink (author and researcher), Ioannis Bouziou (researcher and officiant of the "Gardens of Adonis"), Christos Morfos (author and researcher), and Charita Mini (philologist and author).

    Excellent book that introduced to the public a completely unknown school of thought with roots in the Enlightenment. It goes without saying that previously such views could not be expressed (see Middle Ages, sacred examination, etc.).
    The author brings to light revealing evidence that something is not right with the historicity of Jesus, while the book includes 19 interviews with academics and experts from 10 different countries, ensuring a variety of information and opinions. Not recommended for dogmatic individuals. However, it is recommended for open-minded Christians due to its exceptional writing style.

    Biased research and distortion of data. Lack of important historical events, such as the destruction of ancient libraries. A theory that will never be proven to have a basis, as it suddenly appeared in 1800 and resurfaced in 1990, is simply an unsubstantiated hypothesis of some academic articles. But they are respected in the rankings, with great hypocrisy and contradictions.
