KRST - Jesus a Solar Myth: A new exegesis explores mythical and allegorical contents of the Gospels

A mythographic research in antithesis to the canonical line of historical research on the origin of Christianity. The treatment turns immediately to search for mythical elements arising from antecedents religions that may have inspired some passes and descriptions of the Gospels. In the central chapter, however, the comparative method is soon abandoned to introduce a new exegetical analysis suggested by an original idea of decoding the Egyptian solar myth. From this decoding comes a long series of allegorical interpretations of many Gospel episodes: The equivalence of Jesus and John the Baptist with the Sun The birth on December 25 The birth from a virgin in Bethlehem The beginning of the preaching The 40 days in the desert The Wedding Feast at Cana The multiplication of the loaves and fishes Jesus Walks on the Water Peter-Aion Going into Jerusalem The time of the Parousia and the Messianic Era The room for dinner in Mark The Advocate The Passover meal Barabbas The two robbers The spear in his side The death and resurrection and many other details of the narrative. The mythical hypothesis, however, does not preclude the search for a possible figure of the historical Jesus. Several matches found between Mithraism-Freemasonry and Christianity and an explicit indication of Raimondo de Sangro in a coded letter foresee a precise profile of the founder of a Hermetic-initiatic sect.
