"The Christ Myth" by Arthur Drews is a scholarly work that delves into the historical and philosophical analysis of the figure of Jesus, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the contentious idea that the accounts of Jesus in the Gospels may be founded on mythological, rather than historical, elements, forming a critical discourse surrounding the existence of an actual historical Jesus. Drews aims to challenge conventional religious beliefs, suggesting that the essential narratives regarding Jesus are more accurately understood as constructs emerging from broader cultural and religious influences of the time. At the start of the text, Drews sets the stage for his argument by recounting the intellectual landscape surrounding the historical Jesus debate. He references various thinkers, both contemporary and historical, who questioned the existence of Jesus as a historical figure. The preface outlines a significant shift in scholarly opinion, revealing a growing skepticism towards the traditional theological views that uphold an actual Jesus. Drews provides a sweeping overview of how ancient religions and philosophies influenced early Christianity, suggesting that the portrayal of Jesus is intertwined with a rich tapestry of earlier myths and beliefs, ultimately leading to a radically different understanding of his significance within the religious discourse of the time.
