Mediocre Scholarship
29. März 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I had high hopes for this book, but I was greviously disappointed. The parallels between Christ and pagan saviors (especially the Persian god Mithras) are infinitely fascinating to me. I looked forward to discovering more credible information that I could add to my mental databank. Unfortunately, I found the author making wild claims with little or no substantiation. At one point, Graves even admits that many of his claims are overblown and that many of the examples he cites don't fit his theories, but he excuses this because of the overriding importance of the book's rhetorical purpose! This is inexcusable. This book contains unsubstantiated arguments and lacks appropriate source citations to original research. For all I know, Graves made up half the stuff in it. If he didn't, he doesn't tell us where to find his original sources. I'd excuse this as a relic of the time period when he was writing, except that Edward Gibbon lived even earlier and it seems to me he did a much better job of documenting his source material. I was very disappointed in this book.

Worth the read....
9. Februar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
While I agree with other reviewers that Graves goes over the edge fairly often throughout the book, the information contained in this book is very thought provoking and not really available elsewhere in one work. Some of the comparisons are pretty loose, and the book might better have been titled '10 crucified saviors', but still, the work attempts and succeeds at showing a prominent religious thread throughout history.
The writing style, while modern enough to be an easy read, IS from 1875 and lacks the modern understanding of a 'scholarly' approach. Having read MANY works on this subject, I can attest that most of the information is indeed correct, but his style is often inflammatory and somewhat obnoxious. He Really had a problem with Christianity and much of the book is devoted to this topic. This is probably great if you avidly detest Christians as well, but ocassionally annoying if your just trying to extract the relevant info from the book.
All in all, this IS a worthwhile read, but can be challenging because of the above considerations.

The truth in this book trandscends organized religion
6. April 2000
I read the book as well as the book intitled THE BOOK YOUR CHURCH DOES'NT WANT YOU TO READ and THE CHRIST CONSPIRACY and all of these books chalanged my pre-concieved beliefs in the faith of my upbringing and for that I am thankful . It was horrifying at first but the truth is setting me free . I now see the universe and all that is around me in a much bigger perspective than I once did and it is wonderful !
