Zeitgeist (Part 1)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides a critique of the movie Zeitgeist and its depiction of the Jesus-Myth theory. Zeitgeist claims that Christianity is a myth based on earlier stories about deities across different religions and myths, but the lecture argues that the documentary uses outdated and discredited sources. The movie's argument is that Christianity is heavily influenced by pagan mythologies, but scholars today generally do not see any connection between the two. While other gods have been claimed to have died and been resurrected, the lecture reasons that the actual myths reveal that this is often not the case.
