I never believe popular consensus. There seems to be enough information in this book to get some mental gears rolling and hopefully getting people to ask more questions.
Some truths are hard to accept or rationalize but the attempt to understand the depth of reality should take precedence over popular teachings millennia old. The Bible may have been fictionalized or perhaps not. The Bible cannot be the soul source of investigation on this matter but it can be used as a cross referen...more

Search the name ‘Acharya S’ in Google and you’ll find more than 79,000 hits. Most of christ conspiracythese links go to atheist, New Age, and other sites hostile to scripture. I decided to read this book since it was being quoted by so many atheists as proof against the Bible. A documentary called Zeitgeist claims to explore the pagan roots of the Bible, and it uses Acharya S. and several of her sources as proof against the Bible.

This book was very interesting, and very exhausting. I would really rate it a 3.5 if this website let me.
Basically, the book shows that most religions are based on astrotheology-- basing the gods on astrology and astronomy. It also shows how there is no historical record for the life or birth of Jesus Christ, and many other biblical figures.
The premise of the book is that the Roman Catholic church needed to unify several pre-existing religions under one new state-approved ...more

Acharya S, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold (Adventures Unlimited, 1999)
Okay, I tried.
I've crossed swords with the author before on some of the very issues that show a blind spot in this book (the section on Evemerism is especially weak, for example; more on that below), but in many cases, her response ended up being "read my book," which then hadn't been released yet. Okay, so I got around to reading the book, or at least trying to read the b...more

The book is a comprehensive look at many religions, using only the current "Christ" as an example of yet another iteration of an age old myth that has been hijacked by a greedy priesthood. Good book for any serious student of religion.

The Greatest Story Ever Sold
It's a completely different perspective about the way we see life in the present and in the afterlife. It make us think about our beliefs, specially about those holes that we, at least I had, about the history of our presents religions. It's a book that helps to bridge the gap, and realize how we, human beings, has destroyed our past, our legacy, and if we don't change the way we act, we'll destroy our future as well. We have to focus on the present, rather than in the afterlife.
I think this should be mandatory reading before anyone chooses to place their faith in any religion. You are free to believe anything you wish, but you should at least be dealing with the facts and history behind it. Sadly, most people are operating with neither.
This is a very challenging and exciting book, I can't wait to read more!

Ok, saying I read this is an exaggeration, but I tried, really did. Just rent the movie.
I'm not saying it's true
BUT
What if it is?

Historical truths put Christianity to rest. Amen.
Appropriate reading for the holiday season.
