>>16116387Christianity is the sythesis of the greek Dionysian/Orphic mystery (resurection and eternal life) with judaic moral codes. Paul, one of the first authors of christianity, was a Roman jew educated in the Greek tradition and the new testament was written entirely in Greek.
The Christ was never a historical man; the gospels are essentially four parables themselves; an overlay of jewish prophesy (this word bears close examination as to its meaning) and morality onto a man who embodied the greek model of the souls salvation from the material world of change and the return with the divine unity.
The story of Narcisse, the mystery of Dionysius, and the philosophies of Heraclitis, and Parmenides are worth your attention and study.
