Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology is a book written by John M. Robertson that explores the similarities and differences between pagan and Christian religions. The book is a collection of essays that examines the origins of Christianity and how it was influenced by earlier pagan religions. Robertson argues that many of the beliefs and practices of Christianity can be traced back to pagan religions, and that Christianity was not a unique or original religion. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of the virgin birth, the resurrection, and the concept of the Trinity. It also explores the similarities between the stories of Jesus and other pagan gods, such as Osiris and Dionysus. Pagan Christs is a thought-provoking and controversial book that challenges traditional Christian beliefs and offers a new perspective on the origins of Christianity.1911. The bulk of the present volume is substantially a synthesis of Christian origins, introduced by a discussion of the principles of hierology. Such discussion is still forced on sociology by the special pleaders of the prevailing religion. But the central matter of the book is its attempt to trace and synthesize the real lines of growth of the Christian cultus. The work is divided into four parts entitled: Rationale of Religion; Secondary God Making; Mithraism; Religions of Ancient America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
