It's truly amazing how many aspects of Christianity were taken from Ancient Egyptian culture. The figure of the Madonna and Child for instance, is a direct copy of the presentation of Auset and Heru (Isis and Horus). The concepts of monotheism and immaculate conception were established parts of Egyptian religion centuries before the rise of Christianity. Even descriptions of the lives of Biblical figures such as David, Solomon, Moses and Jesus closely match figures from Egyptian history and religion.
In this book, Moustafa Gadalla looks at the origins of Christianity. He compares the Biblical stories to known historical events and people from Ancient Egypt. He also describes the origins of several Christian festivals including Easter, Lent and Epiphany.
This is a well researched book drawing on the author's own investigation as well as others. Recommended reading for anyone interested in knowing about the origins of a religion which has had a impact on many of us.

I am new to the study of anything Egyptian. I am a believer in Jesus Christ and very interested in learning more about the influences and roots of Judaism. I would like to find historical context that represents what I believe and live by. This book is an excellent introduction for opening one’s mind to possibilities. It provides great context of Egyptian history during Biblical times, who was ruling, suggestions and support on which pharaohs were actually Biblical figures. Intriguing. Something to explore and study further.
That being said, the author spoke in absolutes. What he shared about Egypt was the truth and pure. What he shared about Christianity was a corruption, mutilated and wrong. He didn’t present his speculation as speculation. It seemed as if he assumed a lot about Christianity that I have never felt to be true from my own studies. In this respect it sometimes felt as if I was listening to someone who had no respect and therefore no true understanding of the faith comprised of Jesus Believers. For example, he appears to think nothing good can come of an altered message. But from listening to him, the things that ringed as true with the Egyptian roots was equally true in Christianity. I don’t see this as a contradiction or fallacy. I see it as a developing understanding of an origin story. What is pure and true will continue to flow and shine through the morass for the true seekers.
