5.0 out of 5 stars Greatness!, July 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: The Legend of Saint Peter (Paperback)
If you're into the deep metaphysical studies of astrotheology, then that small manuscript is for you. It is a forgotten classic due to the politics of our age. But now here is your chance to get it and dissect it before the totalitarian thought police start to enfore their laws on our MINDS. Peep the game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Towards mythic-only Peter, Jesus, Paul, apostles, etc., September 1, 2003
This review is from: The Legend of Saint Peter (Paperback)
Arthur Drews is an important early 20th-Century author whose works should all be available in English. Even in Germany you have to look for Drews' books in antiquarian libraries.

There was a pope Peter on the very Vatican a long time before Catholic papacy became into being. From another reader's translation of this book into English: "No doubt: the Christian Peter is nothing but a reduplicated and humanized Persian Petros or Mithra, who got that way into the Gospels. The papal Church is nothing but the immediate continuation or the Christian substitute of the old Petros cult. The Archigallus, the highest priest or pagan Pope of the Mithras-Attis cult corresponds to the highest or archpriest of the entire Catholic Christendom. He had his residence on the Vatican, worshipped the Sun as Saviour and in the Kybele the 'virgin'-Godmother, who would be represented sitting with a baby boy on her lap having the Virgin Mary as her Christian counterpart."

Drews provides a substantial scholarly basis for understanding that the Bible is essentially all mythic or, as I'd emphasize more, mystic allegory. A must-have for all mythic-only Jesus scholars, because eliminating the hypothesis of a single historical person underlying the Jesus figure goes hand-in-hand with doing the same for the rest of his crowd: Paul, Peter, John, James, Mary, and all the apostles.
