Title: What the creators of Christianity were really doing
Review: This book is very easy and quick to read -- which is a featureI always appreciate. The book essentially describes a theoryas to why Christianity was created. That is, they explain theancestry of the Christian faith (ie it is descended from paganMystery cults). It explains what motivated the ancients tocreate it and describes at a high level some of the techniquesthey used in creating Christian theology. I would recommendthis book as well as the following:1. The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark2. Who Wrote the New Testament (Burton Mack)3. James the Brother of Jesus (Robert Eisenman)The Jesus Mysteries completes ideas presented only hinted atin Mack and Eisenman. I was delighted to see them fleshed out.
