The article entitled 'The Pagan Christ' is blind faith killing Christianity?' is a brief synopsis of Harpur's bestseller 'The Pagan Christ' and appeared recently in a printed anthology of articles produced by Astraea Web Radio. Harpur's book reveals that the ancient motifs associated with the Jesus figure such as virgin birth, baptism, and death and resurrection were shared with many of the earlier ancient pagan figures.
“When we cross examined Harpur's work we found that this position has been supported in meticulous detail by many others in the past including Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Gerald Massey and Alvin Boyd Kuhn to name a few" stated book editor and designer Steve Nixon.
The book, published by Authorhouse, contains a series of articles by popular authors such as Tom Harpur, Dr. Robert Lomas, Peter Marshall, Michael Cremo, Robert G. Bauval, Ahmed Osman, Archie Eschborn and Philip Ball. The book also includes additional work by private writers and researchers from around the world. The articles explore a wide range of topics such as Archaeoastronomy, religion, ancient symbols, philosophy, ancient mathematics and is a creation of U.K.-based Astraea Magazine and Web Radio - a free Internet talk show hosted by former BBC announcer Guy Leigh. The show is rapidly growing in popularity and has attracted some of the most prestigious scholars, scientists, historians and filmmakers in the world.
Guests to the free online radio program have included: David Suzuki, Brian Copenhaver, Rosalie David, John Q. Barrett, Kia Bird, Sherwin Martin, Carol Kidwell, Paula Findlen, Michael White, John Gribbin, Mario Livio, Andrea Carusi, Halton Arp, Timothy Freke, Michael Nagler, Michael Baigent, Michael Bott and Bill Mcguire, to name a few.
