The Horus Myth In Its Relation To Christianity (1877)

By William Ricketts Cooper

Book Overview

The Horus Myth In Its Relation To Christianity (1877) is a book by William Ricketts Cooper that explores the similarities between the ancient Egyptian god Horus and the story of Jesus in Christianity. The book delves into the mythology and symbolism surrounding Horus, including his birth from a virgin mother, his role as a savior, and his resurrection. Cooper argues that the similarities between Horus and Jesus are not coincidental, but rather evidence of the influence of Egyptian mythology on early Christianity. The book also examines the history of the early Christian church and the political and cultural factors that may have contributed to the adoption of Horus-like elements into Christian doctrine. Overall, The Horus Myth In Its Relation To Christianity offers a thought-provoking look at the intersection of religion, mythology, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
