The Astrological Foundation of the Christ Myth

Rating:
Summary: Biblical tales understood as symbolic astronomy & science
Review: The author does a good job of identifying the astrological symbolism in the New & Old Testaments, including the solar mythos that parallels many other religious fables of the world. The author attempts to identify multiple levels of interpretation of Biblical passages, although the book is rather slim and really just scratches the surface of the levels of information encoded in the Bible. Besides the astronomical symbolism, there is also historical/racial propaganda, social engineering/moral persuasion, reference to extraterrestrial factions and activities, alchemical/spiritual symbolism for initiates, sacred geometry, and other types of coded information, involving multiple groups and agendas. A whole encyclopedia would be needed to thoroughly cover these topics.
