These do not apply. The "parallels" between the OT and the NT do not work like the Lincoln-Kennedy parallels, which are between two historical incidents. Often when we see an OT-NT parallel, it is between a literary event in the OT and a "historical one" in the NT. For example, Psalm 21, a literary creation, winds through the Passion Narrative.

Well, PTET and I were talking about Christ-Krishna parallels... but good points, Vork. I think that underlines what I was saying about "meaningful" parallels. I agree that the parallels between the OT and NT are well established, and some of the historical events in the NT seem to have been created (or at least reworked) from the OT. Perhaps the OT-NT connection may be a better area for PTET to investigate than the Pagan-NT one.
