  • How a Mainstream Historical Method Creates Its Own Jesus
    How a mainstream historical method creates its own Jesus Not quite a Book Review: Comparing "Israël verdeeld" (Israel divided) by Lendering 2014 with "The simple mathematics of Jesus" by Colignatus 2012 Thomas Colignatus December 6 2014 - small update December 14 - insertion on Carrier December 20 2014 http://thomascool.eu Abstract Lendering (2014) "Israël verdeeld" (Israel divided) - henceforth JLIV - claims to present a history of the Jewish world in 180 BC - 70 AD. The book has mixed features of a scholarly book and a book to popularise historical findings for a general audience. JLIV frames Jesus as a historical figure. JLIV also discusses the historical method but not the criticism about it for its application to Jesus. The author adheres to the motto: "Relevance is the enemy of history" (J.P. Meier). The focus on the Jewish world in JLIV implies an emphasis on that Jesus was a Jew - and thus marginal to the Greek and Roman world. The implied argument is: Why would Greeks and Romans worship a Jew as their God ? JLIV does not explicitly discuss other scenario's than a historical Jesus. JLIV basically neglects the arguments of serious authors who analyse that Jesus did not exist as a historical figure, and thus is not even a legend but a myth. There are various scenarios how a Jesus as a mere idea could have come about. A possibility is that a sect of Hellenised Jews came upon the creation themselves. Another possibility is deliberate deception. JLIV does not put the Greek and Roman conquest of Israel en Judea at center stage that can explain this deception.

  • The ZEITGEIST Sourcebook Part 1: the Greatest Story Ever Told
    The ZEITGEIST Sourcebook Part 1: The Greatest Story Ever Told Peter Joseph and D.M. Murdock Preface As one of the main sources for the religion part of the first ―ZEITGEIST‖ film, which has been viewed evidently over 100 million times worldwide, I have spent the past several years defending this ―Part 1‖ and bringing forth its sources into the light of day. I have written not only a number of articles and ebooks but also a nearly 600-page book, Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection, elucidating upon these sources, highlighting the very profound correspondences between Christianity and the ancient Egyptian religion. I have also done a number of videos and audio recordings on this subject as well. When Peter Joseph asked me to help out on this lengthy project, I readily agreed, even though the material contained herein had already been validated repeatedly in my other efforts. In this day and age, it is obvious that many people are not inclined or available time wise to read large tomes of scholarly writings in order to ―figure it all out.‖ This fact of time-constraint as well as difficulty in subject matter is the major reason ―ZEITGEIST‖ was so successful in the first place, as it provided a short and easily digestible summary of the issue at hand: To wit, the origins of some of our most cherished religious ideas. So, here we have put together a resource that is hopefully more readily available to all who are interested but find it difficult and time- consuming to wade through huge chunks of information.

  • Did Jesus Exist? Blogosphere Responses
    Did Jesus Exist? Blogosphere Responses www.vialogue.wordpress.com Did Jesus Exist? http://choiceindying.com/2012/04/11/did-jesus-exist/ (accessed April 14, 2012) 11 April 2012 Eric MacDonald The existence or non-existence of Jesus is not an issue with me, and I still find it hard to understand why it should be an issue with anyone else. I spent years talking about the Jesus of the gospels, his teachings, his life and death, and, believe it or not, his resurrection — which was the hardest part of all — and for a while Robert Funk and his Jesus Seminar interested me strangely, and I attempted to understand the basis upon which the Fellows of the Seminar distinguished between the actual words of Jesus from words put in his mouth by later myth-making and tradition. Of course, the latter exercise has to presuppose Jesus’ real existence as an historical person who not only said things of interest and importance, but whose actual words can be distinguished from sayings that are not reliably attested and cannot be ascribed to the apocalyptic preacher from Galilee. But still this didn’t lead me to wonder whether Bart Ehrman’s HuffPo article “Did Jesus Exist?” had anything of importance to say. If there is no god, and it makes no sense to speak of god in the absence of its existence — contrary to people like Don Cupitt and Jack Spong — then Jesus, whether as an historical or a mythical figure, must lose traction in the mind of anyone who has said farewell to god.

All links, attribution and copyright must be included in any reproduction of this ebook. www.StellarHousePublishing.com The Real ZEITGEIST Challenge by D.M. Murdock/Acharya S "And when we say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexual union, and that He, Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter." Early Church Father and Saint Justin Martyr (c. 150 AD/CE) The hit internet movie "ZEITGEIST," purportedly viewed over 100 million times worldwide in a variety of languages, has stirred up much controversy over the past three years since its release by filmmaker Peter Joseph. As a source for the religious segment—"Part 1"—of the original, official version of ZEITGEIST, I have been aware of the dramatic reactions from those who are religiously inclined, particularly towards Christianity, which ZG contends is a manmade contrivance based on Pagan and Jewish precedents. This part of ZG in particular draws the most fire, apparently because it is the most challenging to the faith. Instead of welcoming this short digest of religious history that has the potential of providing much needed release from erroneous and deleterious belief systems, a number of individuals have become so flummoxed, distraught and challenged by ZG's revelations that they have gone on the warpath and created a series of dubious "debunking" articles and videos, including a "Zeitgeist Challenge" of their own, full of flawed logic and false contentions that have been addressed long ago but that I have also rebutted continually over the past few years whenever claims of ZG "debunking" or "refutation" have cropped up.

  • Hope's Reason 1.1 (2010): 145-168
    Hope’s Reason: A Journal of Apologetics 145 EXPOSING THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE: RESPONDING TO THE ZEITGEIST MOVIE Stephen J. Bedard 392 The documentary Zeitgeist was released on the Internet in 2007. It was originally a multimedia performance piece that included live and recorded music accompanying the video. The documentary by Peter Joseph393 has been very popular. Not only did it win an award at the Activist’s Film Festival, it has also spawned two sequels: Zeitgeist: Appendum and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. The original movie is divided into three parts: 1) The Greatest Story Ever Told, which deals with the historical Jesus, 2) All the World’s a Stage, dealing with alternative theories regarding 9/11 and 3) Don’t Mind the Men Behind the Curtain, which deals with the banking industry. While some people have accepted these radical claims, there have been strong criticism against the movie. Such concerns are not just from evangelical Christians. Tim Callahan, from the Skeptics Society, while acknowledging that he accepted some of the claims added: “Unfortunately, this material is liberally — and sloppily — mixed with material that is only partially true and much that is plainly and simply bogus.”394 D.M. Murdock (aka Acharya S) was the academic consultant for the first part of the film. Murdock as written extensively on the Jesus Myth.395 She has responded to people’s concerns regarding the accuracy of the claims about Jesus in Zeitgeist by writing an e-book titled 392 Stephen Bedard is the pastor of Woodford Baptist Church and First Baptist Church Meaford and is a D.Min.

  • The Origins of Christianity
    The Origins of Christianity The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ by Acharya S Introduction Around the world over the centuries, much has been written about religion, its meaning, its relevance and contribution to humanity. In the West particularly, sizable tomes have been composed speculating upon the nature and historical background of the main character of Western religions, Jesus Christ. Many have tried to dig into the precious few clues as to Jesus's identity and come up with a biographical sketch that either bolsters faith or reveals a more human side of this godman to which we can all relate. Obviously, considering the time and energy spent on them, the subjects of Christianity and its legendary founder are very important to the Western mind and culture. The Controversy Despite all of this literature continuously being cranked out and the significance of the issue, in the public at large there is a serious lack of formal and broad education regarding religion and mythology, and most individuals are highly uninformed in this area. Concerning the issue of Christianity, for example, the majority of people are taught in most schools and churches that Jesus Christ was an actual historical figure and that the only controversy regarding him is that some people accept him as the Son of God and the Messiah, while others do not. However, whereas this is the raging debate most evident in this field today, it is not the most important. Shocking as it may seem to the general populace, the most enduring and profound controversy in this subject is whether or not a person named Jesus Christ ever really existed.

  • Kersey Graves's Sixteen Crucified Saviors
    Midwestern Journal of Theology 10.1 (2011): 145-65 Kersey Graves’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors: Prometheus as Test Case “Be advised! ’Tis shameful for the wise to persist in error.” Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound (l.1039).1 RONALD V. HUGGINS Associate Professor of NT and Greek Midwestern Baptist theological Seminary Kansas City, MO 64118 [email protected] If one wants to enter into the old discussion of the “dying and rising” gods, one must resign oneself to the idea of having to straddle the line separating real scholarship and pseudo-scholarly rubbish.2 It comes with the territory. Claims that Prometheus is to be counted among the so- called “crucified saviors” hail almost exclusively from the rubbish side. As to the scholarly side, Prometheus’s name only appears once in the cumulative index of James George Frazer’s classic multi-volume work, The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (1935), and then only in relation to his theft of fire from Olympus in the chapter “The Origin of 1 Aeschylus (LCL; vol. 1 of 2; Cambridge, MA: trans. ET: Hubert Weir Smyth; Harvard University/London: William Heinemann, 1923), 311. 2 My use of the term “rubbish” is not intended to be derisive but descriptive of a genre of literature that, first, is characterized by a pretense to scholarship that is not sustained by the substance of what is presented, and second, is not rooted in an authentic love or pursuit of truth or knowledge, but rather exists only to feed the prejudices and/or prurient interests (scandal, sensation, cynicism, hatred) of the readers who consume it.

    [MJTM 22 (2020–2021) 31–60] ROMANS 1:3 AND THE CELESTIAL JESUS : A REBUTTAL TO REVISIONIST INTERPRETATIONS OF JESUS ’S DESCENDANCE FROM DAVID IN PAUL Christopher M. Hansen1 Saginaw Valley State University, University Center, MI, USA In the last thirty years, popularity for the idea that Jesus of Nazareth never existed as a historical figure (better known as “mythicism” 2) has grown among laypeople. Until this time, rela- tively few were exposed to mythicism, though it has (contra Ehrman) persisted without hiatus for approximately the last 394 years. 3 Indeed, Barna’s recent survey indicates that nearly 40 percent of the population of the UK doubts the historicity of 1. I would like to thank Brak Avraham for his tireless help in tracking down sources and critiquing my argumentation and ideas with this piece. I must also thank many of my friends and family for their support, criticisms, and en- couragement with this piece as well. Without them, this piece would have never happened. 2. The term “mythicist” was initially used for the works of Schleier- macher and Strauss (Sacks, “Christliche Polemik,” 395 and Matheson, German Theology , 134–63). After its application to the “Christ Myth Theory” in the early twentieth century by Thorburn and others, it became standard both in and out of academia (Thorburn, Jesus the Christ , 1–25; Howell-Smith, Jesus Not a Myth , 3; Robertson, Jesus , vii–xiv; for academics today see Ehrman, Did Jesus Exist? ; Casey, Jesus ; Gullotta, “On Richard Carrier’s Doubts”; Meggitt, “‘More Ingenious than Learned’?”). For further discussion of the term “mythi- cism,” see Meggitt, “‘More Ingenious than Learned’?” 449–50.
