Traces the sources of the Christian religion to ancient Egypt. The earliest Christian myths emerged in the melting pot of gnostic Alexandria--not in orthodox Jerusalem, classical Athens, or legalistic Rome. In this book, Tjeu van den Berk traces the sources of the Christian faith to the banks of the river Nile.

He also traces the origins of the stories of Lazarus and Saint George, and he finds stunning parallels between Egyptian mythology and the Book of Revelation.
