The Christ Controversy

Its a review about this product

[...] Acharya's book is certainly powerful. Having been brought up in a Christian household, I felt angry at the possibility of having
been lied to for so long. This is not a book that can be read nonchalantly by the sincere seeker of the truth. To paraphrase the Old Testament, faith should be subjected to the crucible to elicit gold. The Christians who honestly study this book and finish with their faith totally intact will certainly have my admiration.
Like other reviewers, I have found snippets of information which I disagree with in Acharya's book. What does this leave us
with? A rough diamond, but a diamond nonetheless.
Christianity is unique among the major faiths insofar as it is based upon the soteriological premise of godman making the
ultimate sacrifice for humanity. Buddhism for instance, would be unshaken if the Buddha was proven to be totally mythical, as it
is solely a method of spiritual development. If Jesus however could be proven to be mythical, where does that leave
Christianity?
The bible teaches that we were made in the image of God, the various Gnostic schools (some of which greatly influenced early
Christianity) spoke of us having a divine spark within. Personal empowerment is about recognising our true nature and taking
control of our lives, rather than having someone else make our decisions for us. To effectively take control, it is vital to make informed decisions. May the truth be known to all.
