The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, by Kersey Graves. Before Christianity there were 15 other religions that also has a savior who died for our sins, then arose from the dead. Graves gives all the details, plus much more found in common including the immaculate conception of the gods, virgin born gods, magi, shepherds and angels who visit the infant saviors, the birthday of the gods being December 25th, plus an explanation as to how Jesus began to be worshipped as a God. Some scholars suggest that Jesus spent time in India. One chapter in this book discusses 346 striking analogies between Christ and Chrishna, the Hindu god. Could this same story have traveled from India rather than the man himself? Could this ever-present story, "the greatest story ever told," be the common link between all early religions? Has the purpose of religion, in general, been designed to provide all of mankind with a common set of beliefs, to keep us from learning the real truth? It is difficult to answer these questions, but this book offers us a small step closer to the answers. It also shows us that Christianity is not alone or special in its beliefs and may cause us to explore further into the origins of religion.
