Where did the Jesus myth come from?

[Justtristo]

Jesus was not a real person, so where did this Jesus myth come from? Was it based on a single other faith? Was it a combination of other faiths? Or was it completely invented out of nothing?

Assuming Jesus is a totally mythical character (which seems likely, although we cannot prove beyond the shadow of a doubt). The best treatment of the whole Christ Myth hypothesis is Robert M Price's The Christ Myth Theory and it's Problems which you can purchase as a ebook off his website.
