Alexander or Jesus?

Exploring the historical context of Jesus' divine title, this book examines how early Christian narratives were influenced by contemporary religions and figures, particularly St. Paul's choice of the term "son of a god" to resonate with Gentile audiences. It highlights the parallels between Jesus and Alexander the Great, who was similarly titled 350 years earlier, suggesting that the stories surrounding both figures shaped perceptions of Jesus' divine sonship. The text challenges the notion of Jesus' uniqueness concerning his birth and epiphany, revealing broader mythological themes.
