3.0 out of 5 stars
Of historic interest, good; otherwise...,
By A Customer
This review is from: World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors or Christianity before Christ (Paperback)
Graves' scholarship is somewhat lacking. Or, to be gracious, the discoveries made since this book's initial publication cast a dubious light on some of the finer details of his argument.That there are parallels between the Christ story and the stories of other religions' messiah figures is undeniable. And I'd tend to agree this proves that Jesus was one of many "sons of God" wandering the earth in his time period, and that the tale presented in the Bible mixed fact, fiction, and accounts from other places. But there are more accurate books detailing this process. This book's worth is largely in its historical significance.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb revelation about respect for the worlds religions.,
By A Customer
This review is from: World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors or Christianity before Christ (Paperback)
Understanding the many ways God speaks to his children is the
essence of this book. It makes one humble in their belief
and understanding about how mankind fits together in this
one world.Understanding the origin of practices causes one to
rethink and look beyond what is constantly told for him to
believe. This book causes the thinker to think and re-evaluate.
Most especially, however, the respect for Gods many messengers
down through the ages and the role or task they had before
them to lift the consciousness of the people.

Very Informative!,
This review is from: World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors or Christianity before Christ (Paperback)
This is a great book that discusses religious history pertaining to the different messiahs and all the similarities contained within the different religions.
