Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth

By: John G Jackson

Narrated by: Teo Shore

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John G. Jackson is a concise yet provocative exploration of the parallels between Christian doctrines and ancient pagan mythology.

Drawing on comparative religion and historical analysis, Jackson argues that many key elements of the Jesus story—such as the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection—are not unique to Christianity but were present in earlier religious traditions from Egypt, Greece, India, and beyond.

Originally published in 1941, this work challenges traditional beliefs and invites readers to reconsider the origins of Christian theology through the lens of myth and cultural borrowing. Though brief, the book serves as a gateway into the broader Jesus myth theory and remains influential among skeptics, historians, and students of religious studies.
