Pagan influences on the biblical stories of Jesus' life
March 21, 2016 at 2:02 am
I know that some claims about pagan influences on Christianity are overblown or discredited, but is there any truth to the claim that the virgin birth, the death, and resurrection of Jesus (and possibly some other elements) took inspiration from pagan religions or mystery religions?

This matter is of strictly academic interest to me.
