Title: Stunning scholarship!
Review: While Christianity has disaffected many of its adherents and freethinkers have long looked askance at the various cons pulled off in the name of Jesus, few scholars examine so thoroughly the religion's true historical roots in conspiracy and parapolitical manipulation. The Christ Conspiracy is a feast of scholarship (400+ pages; fully illustrated), not only debunking the notion of a historical Jesus but establishing clearly the roots of that mythology in the solar precession. In pursuing this avenue of research, Acharya S has attained a panoramic view of world religious history especially useful to students of conspiracy, but also one accessible to mainstream readers. She is a veritable Joseph Campbell of dissent over commonly held assumptions about Christianity. Believers will find a new and quite formidable challenge to their faith and others will be blown away by the depth and breadth of scholarship.
