be well, be love.

so, what if it could be proven that jesus never existed? what if there was evidence that every word of the new testament -- the cornerstone of christianity -- is based on myth and metaphor?

based on tom harpur's national bestseller, the pagan christ examines these very questions. during his research, harpur discovered that the new testament is wholly based on egyptian mythology, that jesus christ never lived, and that -- indeed -- the text was always meant to be read allegorically. it was the founders of the church who duped the world into taking a literal approach to the scriptures. and, according to harpur, this was their fatal error -- and the very reason christianity is struggling today.

the mission of the pagan christ is not to accelerate christianity's slow demise, but to breath new life into its holy book and, in the process, bring the world a richer, more spiritual faith.
