The ZEITGEIST Sourcebook: Part I – The Greatest Story Ever Told (2010) by D. M. Murdock (a.k.a. Acharya S) serves as a companion reference to the first part of the film Zeitgeist: The Movie, documenting and citing over 150 academic sources to argue that many central motifs of Christianity (including the virgin birth, the son of god, death and resurrection, and December 25 as a holy date) derive from much older mythologies rooted in solar worship and “astro–theology” found in ancient Egypt, India, Greece and the Near East. The Sourcebook presents a layered argument that religious narratives reflect personifications of the sun, moon, stars, and seasonal cycles, and that Christian iconography and doctrine borrow heavily from these earlier traditions.
