First published in 1910, "The Christ Myth" drew violent criticism
from theologians, the press, and the public. Eminent German
philosopher Arthur Drews (1865-1935) reacts to the 'romantic cult
of Jesus', which, he says is undermining intellectual truthfulness.
He exposes the Jesus of the gospels as a mythical character,
arguing that no basis exists for seeking a historical figure behind
the Christ myth. Through a comparative study of ancient religions,
Drews shows that Christianity is a syncretism of various pagan and
Jewish beliefs, and that a strong pre-Christian cult of Jesus as
son of God and messiah existed. This is a valuable sourcebook for
students of religion, and all those interested in examining the
origins of Christianity.
