Pagan Christs is a book by John M. Robertson, originally published in 1903. This work is a critical examination of the historical and mythological aspects of various religious traditions, particularly focusing on the parallels between pagan myths and the story of Jesus Christ in Christianity. "Pagan Christs" challenges conventional religious beliefs by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the similarities between the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the stories of various pagan deities from ancient mythologies. Robertson argues that many elements of the Christian narrative, including the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection, can be traced back to earlier mythological figures and cults. John Mackinnon Robertson (14 November 1856 – 5 January 1933) was a prolific Scottish journalist, advocate of rationalism and secularism, and Liberal Member of Parliament for Tyneside from 1906 to 1918. Robertson was best known as an advocate of the Christ myth theory.
