Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 10: Creation
by Revilo P. Oliver IT HAS, of course, long been obvious to rational men that the only explanation of the existence of organic life, including our own precious and unique selves, is biological evolution. Men capable of ratiocination and willing to think will always honor Darwin, to whom we owe the formulation…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 9: Jews and Islam
by Revilo P. Oliver THERE IS a neatly ironic symmetry behind the current scandal, which was precipitated by the disclosure that the Jews were using their American subjects to supply and subsidize the Iranians in their war against Iraq, a nation whose territory the Jews intend eventually to occupy after…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 8: Theological Claptrap
A ridiculous Jewish myth re-imagined, Aryanized, and made beautiful by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau by Revilo P. Oliver I CONTINUALLY have to marvel at the rarity of common sense in our people generally and particularly in Christians, including, of course, the Marxist and “Liberal”…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 7: Stoicism
by Revilo P. Oliver Appendix: Stoicism THE MOST IMPORTANT fact about Stoicism is that it was not a product of the Greek mind and was therefore an alien doctrine foisted onto the Aryan peoples of Antiquity. (A1) Stoicism was founded in the last years of the fourth century B.C. by Zeno, a Semite (‘Phoenician’),…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 6: An Alternative
by Revilo P. Oliver MR. CARTER PRESENTS a radically different theory about the origins of Christianity sometime in the First Century. He takes his departure from the Stephen who appears in Acts, 6, 5 -7, 60, and is mentioned occasionally in subsequent chapters. The man’s Greek name does not prove that…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 5: One Hypothesis
by Revilo P. Oliver RELATIONS BETWEEN Jews and goyim outside Judaea have always been strained and precarious, except when one has attained such complete dominance as to force the other into hypocritical submission. The Jews, in their scattered colonies throughout the civilized world, needed to…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 4: The New Age
by Revilo P. Oliver WE HAVE ALSO reached the beginning of the historical era established by a Scythian monk who had come to Rome, Dionysius Exiguus, c. A.D. 540. According to his calculations, the supposed birth of Jesus marked the beginning of the First Century (28) in the era now in common use.

Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 3: Heroic Failure
Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Seleucid Empire by Revilo P. Oliver
IT IS THE great virtue of Mr. Carter’s book that he forces us to consider critically a Jewish and Christian generalization about the history of Judaea in the second century B.C He makes us aware that it is highly probable that, besides…

Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 2: Hellenism
by Revilo P. Oliver THE SPECIAL protection of the Jews by Cyrus was continued by his successors until the Persian Empire was conquered by Alexander the Great. That was a truly epochal event. The entire Near and Middle East was transformed. The vast and incontestable superiority of the world’s…
Reflections on the Christ Myth, part 1: What Is Christianity?
by Revilo P. Oliver CHRISTIANITY IS a fusion of two myths. The Jesus myth requires no explication. It is clear that the stories collected in the “New Testament” are versions of a folk-tale formed, like the legend of Robin Hood, by the accretion around a central figure of episodes in the careers…
