Based on the writings of Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn, "The Mythical Life of
Jesus Christ" provides an interpretation of the Bible that shows
the full, clear, and hidden meaning of ancient mythology and
religion. It describes how the Bible is not a record of objective
historical occurrences, but rather a collection of allegorical,
mythical, dramatic, and symbolic sagas.Author Larry Marshall has
compiled the writings of Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn, a lecturer, teacher,
and scholar. Kuhn claims the roots of Christianity can be found in
the Egyptian religion. Through his writings, Kuhn shows there is no
historical evidence for Jesus-that his life is instead based on the
Egyptian god Horus. He further claims that the New Testament of the
Bible and its events-the virgin birth, the baptism, the
temptations, the crucifixion, and resurrection-should be
interpreted allegorically. Marshall believes Kuhn has unlocked the
essence of Christianity and, as a result, challenges the church's
fraudulent orthodoxy.
This book is a probing reassessment of security prospects for the
Asia-Pacific region centred on an analysis of three key notions:
hegemonic power, human security and multilateralism. The
post-September 11 world is steadily moving towards multipolarity as
the hegemon's authority declines. The UN is at a pivotal moment in
its history and middle powers like Japan and Australia will no
doubt help to shape its future. Furthermore, China's star is rising
and the region has to contend with all the ramifications of this
complex reality. The book defines human security as a concept that
offers the international community a broader philosophical and
political purpose and gives substance to the emerging regional and
global multilateralism. It poses perhaps the two most intriguing
and critical questions of the moment: can civil society and
epistemic communities, operating across cultural and civil
boundaries, play a more influential role in defining the goals and
processes of regional cooperation in Asia Pacific? and can states,
multilateral organisations and civil society develop a more
effective partnership in pursuit of these goals? This book brings
together distinguished scholars and experts on public policy,
social ethics, defence, human security and sustainability to
consider the future of the Asia-Pacific region and appropriate
responses by both states and civil society. It will appeal to
scholars and researchers of international relations, politics and
Asian studies as well as policymakers in the region.
