Debating Jesus Copycat Claims: Combating the Quackery (Is Jesus a Pagan God?: Refuting the Copycat Claims Book 3)

Through films such as Zeitgeist and books by popular authors such as Tom Harpur, D. M. Murdock (aka "Acharya S"), and the duo of Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, the thesis that Jesus was a copy of earlier pagan gods has entered mainstream popular thought. While not taken seriously by scholars, this bit of misinformation has become standard fare among conspiracy theorists and a source of confusion in the popular culture at large.

In a series of e-books, Albert McIlhenny will give a thorough critique of the whole "copycat thesis" idea. In "Debating Copycat Claims," the third book in the series, McIlhenny analyzes the types of arguments that supporters of the copycat thesis use to defend their position. Their lack of substantial evidence for their position is often veiled in a haze of personal attacks, logical fallacies, and conspiracy theorist delusions that can make keeping the conversation focused a challenge. Examples of typical ruses and responses to them are provided throughout to expose their most common excuses. This little e-book will help Christians recognize when supporters of material such as Zeitgeist are attempting sleight of hand to hide their inconsistencies and lack of evidence and give the best way to respond.
