Challenging the Zeitgeist Movie: Alleged Parallels between Jesus and Ancient Pagan Religions
In recent years a number of writers have revised an old theory that the gospel accounts of the life of Jesus are simply borrowed from ancient pagan myths and mystery religions. Often called the “copycat theory”, the primary tactic is to identify several parallels between the lives of pagan gods and saviors and the life of Jesus. Most recently this theory was promoted in “The Zeitgest Movie.” In this talk we will challenge this theory and show that it is built on a number of historical and logical fallacies.
