Astrotheology explores how Christianity evolved from widespread earlier beliefs about the religious meaning of the cosmos, building upon traditions of the large old civilizations that surrounded ancient Israel. Thanks very much for this interesting topic, and I agree with Gakusei Don, and do hope y...

During her music video: "Jesus Christ, Sun of Righteousness" (around the 1:42 minute mark) there is a screen shot with Greek words saying: "Jesus Christ God from God Iao". Now that got my ears to perk up! Where did that come from? The basis for Murdock's claim appears to be King...

Paleography is a science of its own sort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_van_Meegeren#mediaviewer/File:VanMeegeren_The_Disciples_at_Emmaus.jpg This painting, from 1936, was regarded as the finest known masterpiece of Johannes Vermeer, who had lived 250 years earlier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

IIRC, he does address this, but not in any detail. I don't think he cites anyone like Detering on this, though. I just flipped through the book and couldn't locate it.

I am not writing that I deny the author's statement, maybe the Aztecs did adhere to such notions, I don't ...

There are quite a few Greek spelling mistakes, as if someone tried to OCR the article and had to correct the ancient Greek (which no OCR program seems to be able to handle very well) with limited knowledge of the forms of the letters. It kind of make it difficult for me to want to follow ... Sorry....
