Les origines du christianisme et la recherche du Jésus-Christ historique

Dans le monde, au cours des siècles passés, beaucoup ont écrit au sujet de la religion, de sa signification, de sa pertinence et de sa contribution à l’humanité. A l’ouest, en particulier, de nombreux volumes spéculent sur la nature et l’historicité de Jésus-Christ, personnage principal des religions occidentales. Beaucoup ont essayé de creuser les rares indices existants relatifs à son identité, et de proposer un croquis biographique qui renforce la foi ou révèle un côté plus humain de cet « homme-dieu ». Évidemment, vu le temps et l’énergie dépensés à leur sujet, le christianisme et son fondateur légendaire sont très importants pour l’esprit et la culture des occidentaux, mais également pour le reste du monde.

En dépit de toute cette littérature produite sans interruption et de l’importance du sujet, il y a chez le public un sérieux manque d’éducation formelle et étendue concernant la religion et la mythologie. La plupart des individus sont terriblement mal informés sur ce sujet. En ce qui concerne le christianisme, on enseigne dans la majorité des écoles et églises que Jésus-Christ est une figure historique et réelle. La seule polémique le concernant est que certains le disent fils de Dieu et Messie alors que d’autres le nient. Cependant, bien que cela soit le débat le plus évident, il n’est pas le plus important. Aussi choquant que cela puisse paraître au quidam, la polémique la plus profonde et la plus durable est de savoir si un individu appelé Jésus-Christ a réellement existé.

Bien que cette controverse puisse ne pas être évidente au vu des publications habituellement disponibles dans les librairies populaires, et lorsque l’on examine cette question de manière plus approfondie, on trouve une énorme quantité de littérature qui démontre, logiquement et intelligemment, que Jésus-Christ est un personnage mythologique au même type que les hommes-dieux grecs, romains, égyptiens, sumériens, phéniciens ou indiens, tous actuellement perçus comme des mythes plutôt que comme personnages historiques. En fouillant plus en amont dans cette grande quantité de documents, l’on peut découvrir les preuves que le personnage de Jésus est né de mythes et de héros plus anciens du monde antique. On s’aperçoit alors que cette histoire n’est pas celle d’un charpentier juif et rebelle qui s’incarna physiquement au Levant il y a 2.000 ans. Autrement dit, on démontre continuellement depuis des siècles, et aujourd’hui encore, que le personnage de Jésus-Christ a été inventé, qu’il n’est pas une vraie personne, fils ou non de Dieu transformée par la suite en surhomme par ses disciples enthousiastes....

What people are saying about Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

"Your scholarship is relentless! ...the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration." —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock... I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations..." —Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com

"Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya's penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity. Those who espouse Christianity beware! After digesting the evidence, you will never again view your religion in the same light." —Dr. Robert M. Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

"Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

"In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results." —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson

"...I have found her scholarship, research, knowledge of the original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating." —Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX

"Acharya S has done a superb job in bringing together the rich panoply of ancient world mythology and culture, and presenting it in a comprehensive and compelling fashion." —Earl Doherty, The Jesus Puzzle

"Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit." —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada

"The Christ Conspiracy—very, very scholarly and wholly researched—is a book for today..." Rev. B. Strauss, ex-Catholic Priest, Chicago, IL

"Amidst the global chaos of George Bush's War on Terror, largely founded on religious intolerance and simplistic notions of good and evil, Acharya S is the voice of reason." —Joan D'Arc, Paranoia

"D.M. Murdock could well be the most brilliant, insightful and rigorous theologian writing today." —Robert Tulip

"Acharya S is the ranking religious philosopher of our era." —John K.

"Acharya S/Murdock deserves an award for her hard work and courage. She is the Galileo of our day!" —Charles Johnson

"Acharya S knows more about the ancient Mysteries than any living scholar." —Christopher Knowles

"Acharya S is an amazing researcher with a tremendous amount of energy and appetite for constant discovery of newer horizons. " —Dr. O.P. Sudrania

"Acharya Murdock's work is so important, so clear and so timely!" —Theresa Weiss, PowerPlaces.com

"I am Hindu, and I read the Bhaagavatham in which the life of Krishna is detailed. I also read your works, and I endorse you. Keep up the good work." —Murali Chemuturi
