[edit] Christianity, Astrology And Myth

Welcome to Wikipedia. Like User:81.157.134.145 and User:86.138.144.131, you have added a book titled Christianity, Astrology And Myth to the References or Further Reading section of a number of articles. Please be aware that you should therefore add an item to an article's "References" section only if it has been used as a source in editing the article.

Other works which a reader of the article could find useful may be added to a "Further reading" section. However, if a user adds a work in this way to multiple articles without making other constructive edits, this may lead to suspicion that his/her intention is to promote the work in question rather than to inform readers. This is frowned upon, and such references are likely to be removed. Please see Wikipedia:Spam).

If you believe that a work is a reliable source and contains relevant information, feel free to use the information it provides to expand and improve articles. EALacey 19:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I have just noticed your postings. The book in question is essentially the text of my MA thesis entitled, 'Pagan Ritual And Myth, In The Early Christian Church'. It does indeed cover many aspects of the Jesus Myth, Christian festival et al...As an example, the first eight chapters are headed: (1)Rebirth of a Myth, (2)Christianity And The Sun God, (3)The Dying And Resurrected Saviour God,(4)Stars And Their Portents, (5)The Virgin Mother Of The World, (6)The Cave And Stable Myth, (7)Slaughter Of The Innocents, (8)Miracles...................etc. There are 16 chapters, 230pp, inc' Bibliography, and index.The work is therefore accademically sound, and relevant to many diverse aspects of Christianity. However, I will cease making further entries: and you must delete what you feel is inapropriate.As an act of contrition I am willing to rewrite, re-edit your entry on James Frazer; you seem to have some problems with it(?).
