A study of the nature and origins of Christianity within fertility cults of the ancient Near East through linguistics. The book relates the development of language to the development of myths, religions, and cultic practices in world cultures. Allegro argues, through etymology, that the roots of Christianity, and many other religions, lay in fertility cults, and that cult practices, such as ingesting visionary plants to perceive the mind of God, persisted into the early Christian era and beyond.

The book is, in fact, a demanding one, which presupposes in the reader at least a working knowledge of the ancient Semitic tongues & of the sciences considered auxiliary to biblical studies. Only the most determined non-professional iconoclast will be willing to wade through his unrelenting jargon. None of which, of course, will affect the demand for what is has become a very controversial work.

Allegro brought to this work the same care & scholarly detachment that have characterized his earlier, & more conventional works. He has made not one concession to the sensational nature of his thesis.
