Where did God come from? What do the bible stories really tell us? Who or what was Jesus Christ? This audiobook challenges everything we think we know about the nature of religion:
- The ancient fertility cult at the heart of Christianity.
- The living power of cultic rites and symbols.
- The sacred mushroom as the emblem and embodiment of divinity.
- The secret meaning of biblical myths.
- The language of religion that links us to our ancestors.
The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross sets out John Allegro's quest through a family tree of languages to find the truth about where Christianity came from.

Great book

Incredibly Fascinating

I'm not a linguist nor do I play one on TV so I cannot challenge the author's theory. And I stress this is merely a theory (a rather titillating one but a theory nonetheless) that makes far too many assumptions based on how words are adopted into different languages.
The narration is excruciating. It sounds like a bored British Civil Servant reading a dry economics report. I find myself unable pay attention for long stretches only to find that I didn't really miss anything. Just another long list of sumerian words that really mean penis.
And wow those Sumerians were sure obsessed with the penis.
Look, I don't want to demean the work of a noted (and now dead) scholar who seemed to be really excellent at deciphering dead languages. It's just that there seems to be too much of a leap of logic here.
We used to be told that we shouldn't take the Bible literally.. now we are supposed to believe it's full of hidden dick jokes??
I am going to return this one. I might read the actual book format because I don't feel I have given it a fair chance but for now I am going to shelve this one under the category "life's too short to listen to bad audio books.
Doesn't live up to the hype.
