Sinossi

Pagan Christs is a book by John M. Robertson, originally published in 1903. This work is a critical examination of the historical and mythological aspects of various religious traditions, particularly focusing on the parallels between pagan myths and the story of Jesus Christ in Christianity. 

"Pagan Christs" challenges conventional religious beliefs by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the similarities between the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the stories of various pagan deities from ancient mythologies. Robertson argues that many elements of the Christian narrative, including the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection, can be traced back to earlier mythological figures and cults.

John Mackinnon Robertson (14 November 1856 – 5 January 1933) was a prolific Scottish journalist, advocate of rationalism and secularism, and Liberal Member of Parliament for Tyneside from 1906 to 1918. Robertson was best known as an advocate of the Christ myth theory.

The Hem of His Garment -...

Dr. Michelle Bengtson

Hope for When the Pain Won't Quit 
 
 
 
Everyone experiences pain at times. It can manifest physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually. It can follow tragic accidents, great loss, sudden betrayal, or unexpected and unwanted change. Often it is temporary. But what do you do when it isn't? When the pain just won't go away, when healing does not come, when the grief and hurt settle in? 
 
 
 
Drawing on her own experience of chronic pain and her years as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides a countercultural perspective on pain. Offering hope without any false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unwraps the complex emotional aspects of dealing with pain. She gives you permission to question God, helps you identify the lies you've believed about your pain, and reorients your perception based on the truth of God's Word. Each chapter ends with a recommended playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer. 
 
 
 
Your pain may not change, but your experience of it can.

The Journey to Biblical...

Jake Hamilton

A Fresh Vision of Spirit-Empowered Masculinity 
 
 
 
As genders, marriages, and families come under attack, global men's movement leader Jake Hamilton reveals what true biblical masculinity is—and why our world desperately needs it right now. 
 
 
 
In this book, Jake challenges and emboldens men to be who God created them to be. Diving into Scripture, ancient traditions, and the mythological story of Parzival, he uncovers twelve time-tested pathways God uses to train you to own the radical responsibility He's placed on men—no matter the cost; use your unique perspectives and personality to fight the evil around you; hold your ground with confidence, courage, and conviction; no longer be sidelined by shame, addiction, depression, and disconnection; and live with purpose, clarity, integrity, and boldness. 
 
 
 
It's time for men of conviction and character to rise up, stand with humble strength, and learn to fight for your identity, marriage, children, and the Kingdom.

Moody's Addresses - 12 Sermons...

Dwight L. Moody

Where am I? Who am I? Where am I going? I think it is good for a man to pause and ask himself these questions. I do not ask you where you are in the eyes of your family, friends, or the community in which you live. It is of very little account what men think of us, but it is of vast importance what God thinks of us.
Am I in communion with my Creator or out of communion? If I am out of communion, there is no true peace, joy, or happiness. But when we are in communion with God, there is light all around our path. You may think that your life is hidden, that God does not know anything about you, but He knows our lives much better than we do, and His eye has been fixed on us from our earliest childhood until now.
I have heard of many people who think that if they join a church and make a profession of faith, that will suffice for the rest of their days. But there is also a cross for every one of us daily. O child of God, where are you? If God were to appear to you tonight and ask the question, “Where are you?” what would your answer be? Could you say, “Lord, I am serving You with my whole heart and strength; I am improving my talents and preparing for the kingdom to come”?
