Does the story of Jesus have a pagan origin?
One of the most persistent and nagging questions that has bothered me since my high school days in a Catholic institution was this: Where did the story of the god-man Jesus come from? Did he really exist as a historical figure, as taught and believed in by the whole Christendom? Or was he just a recreation or reinvention by the gospel writers based on ancient pagan stories of the dying and resurrecting god-men?
