Samuel Sandmel and Parallelomania

Posted on 15 December 202215 December 2022 By SJBedard No Comments on Samuel Sandmel and Parallelomania
Historical Jesus

One of the most significant scholarly articles for refuting the Jesus Myth Theory is “Parallelomania” by Samuel Sandmel. This was an 1962 article in the highly respected Journal of Biblical Literature.

Despite being dated, the arguments still stand. Anyone who is wrestling with how to deal with the supposed parallels between Jesus and other figures needs to read this article. You can find the article here.
