Default need for assistance

hello all ...


I must make a thesis on the origins of the Christian dogmas, original sin, réssurection, eucharistie, redemption.
If you could help me I would be very charmed.

Bye all ...

There are millions of books, websites, articles, etc. I'd start with the Online Books at www.earlychristianwritings.com -- there are quite a few useful books there and don't forget to read the actual church fathers too..,,

HI, An excellent source is this book, titled 'Myth and Ritual in Christianity', by Alan Watts
ISBN 0-8070-1375-7

also to explore more fully the pagan origins of the Christian myth check out the book The Jesus Mysteries (you can alkso find a website devoted to all about that, and maybe emial authors and ask help with research...?

also do a google on 'St Augustine and original sin' as it was he who elaborated it as later Christian dogma emphasizing the evil of 'involuntary arousal' etc
