Myth of the Divine Incarnation in the
Human Soul. The Radical
Critique of Christian
Origins, from the Greek Mythical Roots (2024 Book).
At the end of 2024,
The Christian Myth, According to the Texts (Texts and Ideological Contexts of Early Christianity) was published. In this book, far from the stereotypes of militant
atheism, the author systematizes the critical work he has developed in recent years across various online platforms;
at the same time, it
presents, from strictly academic positions, a radical challenge to
the university consensus on the subject from the second half of
the last century.
Thus, as the author himself has stated, while the 2021 book (Sacrifice and Drama of the Sacred King) presented a
dialectical view of the Christian myth of the death and
resurrection of the divinity—superimposed on the background
of the Christian myth of the
divine incarnation (of Orphic-Platonic character) and the Christian myth of the eschatological
presence on earth of the judge-savior (of Hellenistic and Persian origin)—this work offers an analytical vision of the
quintessential Christian myth: the incarnation of the divinity in
the human soul, which the author presents as the foundation and root of Christianity.
Thus, the myth of the incarnation, of Orphic-Platonic character (Hellenistic and Greek, originating in the myth of the fate of
Dionysus Zagreus), is presented as the foundational basis upon
which the myth of the eschatological presence of the judge-savior and the myth of the death and resurrection of the divinity were later incorporated.
In short, a Greek myth—universal in Hellenistic culture—that the Church transformed into the theological fable of the
material incarnation, ontologically real, carnal, and historical, of a savior whose figure was constructed with the props and staging
of the Jewish Scriptures.
