Author Description

Learn the provocative claims of Kersey Graves in Sixteen Crucified Saviors. Did Christianity borrow from earlier beliefs? This tome analyzes the many parallels betwixt various religious and mythological figures across cultural divides who share very similar narratives of birth, life, death, and resurrection. It distinguishes the teachings and experiences of Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Krishna, and Jesus, among others – arguing quite brilliantly their common origin stories and other relevant mythologies. Graves proposes these tales are not at all exclusive to Christianity, but rather reflect a shared religious tradition existing before it. He also challenges the idea that biblical accounts are historically accurate, and that they are largely stolen from earlier myths and legends. For those looking for a comparative study of religions and their shared roots, this book is a great addition.
