Jesus and the Sun: Is Jesus a Pagan Sun God? (Is Jesus a Pagan God?: Refuting the Copycat Claims Book 5)

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 "Is Jesus a Pagan Sun God?", McIlhenny takes on the ridiculous accusations seen In Zeitgeist and elsewhere that the story of Jesus was a metaphor for the sun and zodiac and that the one Christians worship was little more than a pagan sun god. In the book, he examines the contrived "evidence" and shows the reader exactly why scholars have ignored such claims and how these claims are little more than conspiracy theories built on the pseudoscholarship of over a century ago.
