I've heard from various sources that some of the most important stories in the bible are essentially stolen from other mythologies (I think the resurrection of JC was said to have come froma story of Osirus or some other egyptian god).

Does anybody have any good links or book suggestions that explore and document this further?

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a good start.
