Where did God come from? What do the bible stories really tell us? Who or what was Jesus Christ? This audiobook challenges everything we think we know about the nature of religion:

  • The ancient fertility cult at the heart of Christianity.
  • The living power of cultic rites and symbols.
  • The sacred mushroom as the emblem and embodiment of divinity.
  • The secret meaning of biblical myths.
  • The language of religion that links us to our ancestors.

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross sets out John Allegro's quest through a family tree of languages to find the truth about where Christianity came from.

This book is incredibly extensive; diving into the history of the words of The Bible. Revealing in it the hidden works of a religious cult. Highly recommend! A+

This book was something I kinda always just assumed they did. Even as a kid I knew ancient history is A LOT of guess work. Plus i believe people have been using psychedelics for literally 1000s of years for many different purposes.

Great book

A great book, a lot to take in , the aspects about language and entomology of language was very enlightening. I’ll never be a Christian again with the true knowledge . Christianity is /was for controlling the masses .

Hard to follow without the paper book. There’s a great deal of foreign language characteristics.
