"Dead Little Fish" proves that the biblical figure of Jesus Christ is a remnant of an ancient spiritual mythology; a sacred symbol which was accidentally mistaken for a historical person. It describes in detail how the gospel story, including the death and resurrection of Jesus, was taken directly from earlier sun-cults. It also uncovers the original philosophy of salvation behind Christian symbolism, and is full of quotes from early Christians who clearly worshiped Jesus as a mythological being rather than a historical man.
