Antoine Tsamantakis (2010). Greek elements of Christianity. Dualpha Edition.
Christians are convinced that their religion is a simple variant of Judaism. And it is the same for the Jews who consider that Christianity borrowed its dogmas, its cult practices, and its morals from their religion. At first glance this assertion seems true. An in-depth study shows that it is only an appearance. The evolution of mentalities has made possible today the straightforward restoration of the truth. This is the purpose of this book. But understanding it requires a brief study of the ancient Greek religion.

The evolution of mentalities has made possible today the straightforward recovery of the truth
Interview with Antoine Tsamantakis (words collected by Fabrice Dutilleul and published on EuroLibertés, the European reinformation site).
Many Christians are convinced that their religion is a simple variant of Judaism. And it is the same for the Jews who consider that Christianity has borrowed its dogmas, its cult practices, and its morals from their religion; what about
At first glance, this assertion seems true. Christ was born and lived all his life among the Jews. The deity he was referring to was Yahweh, the god of the Jews, the main Jewish sacred book, the Bible, is also a Christian sacred book and the Apostles were all Jews. An in-depth study shows that it is only an appearance. The Hebrew Bible, the psalms, the Jewish characters of the Old and New Testaments, the Jewish milieu in which Christ lived and suffered his passion, constitute strong images which mask a reality ignored by the general public. For Christianity was born and developed in a region which at that time was strongly influenced by Hellenic ideas, borrowed most of its doctrine from the Greek mystical sects, and Christian teaching owed little to Judaism.
Christianity could not therefore have failed to undergo the action of religious ideas and ritual customs widespread in the Hellenic environment?
Yes, from the 2nd to the 4th century, by developing and organizing itself in an autonomous religion, by completing adaptation to the needs of a public foreign to the Jewish tradition. In spite of its primitive exclusiveness, it has become, by a slow evolution, a syncretic religion; this is what I demonstrate in my book. Historical truth is so far removed from received ideas in this area that any attempt to restore it to its fullness is inevitably doomed to appear as a questionable enterprise.
Especially since the application of scientific criticism to Christian theology calls into question the dogma of its infallibility ...
Thus, all those who have tried to do so in the past have endeavored to tone down their deductions so that they do not contrast too much with the theses of the Church. Furthermore, their works, which have appeared only in a small number of countries, have not been known outside a small circle of specialists. The evolution of mentalities has made possible today the straightforward recovery of the truth. This is the object of my work.
