This provocative work delves into the parallels between the life of Jesus and the mythologies of earlier deities from various cultures. Kersey Graves meticulously examines the recurring themes of divine figures who share miraculous births, preach profound moral teachings, and meet tragic ends, often through crucifixion.
Drawing from ancient religious narratives, the book highlights how these shared motifs transcend cultural boundaries, positioning them within the broader scope of folklore and mythology. Graves' exploration challenges traditional interpretations of religious stories, urging readers to reconsider the origins and universal patterns behind them.
The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors offers a compelling insight into the global archetypes, making it an essential read for those intrigued by the intersections of mythology, religion, and history.
