Was Jesus of the Gospels nothing more than an allegory, and Christianity only a centuries-old misunderstanding?
Who was Jesus Christ? Did he exist? For millennia the world has been driven by the differences between the great patriarchal religions. Western civilization-or Christendom, as it was once called-received its values and its confidence from a belief in God, the Father, and Jesus, his only son. But what if this conviction were founded on an error?
This extraordinary study by a distinguished Unitarian minister suggests that Jesus never existed historically; he was simply a representation of an astrological theology-a representation, simply put, of the zodiac sign of Aquarius. Every bit as revelatory and controversial as it sounds, "The Gospel and the Zodiac" provides both a new look at a religious icon and a deeper understanding of the faith that binds millions together.
