Talk:Acharya S

Other religions understood themselves as allegory
"She asserted the pre-Christian religious civilizations understood their myths as allegorical"

Can anyone put a citation for this? I'm curious what book she says this. RemyRemyr (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:28, 20 August 2021‎

Christmas death
An IP editor has several times in the last couple of years inserted a comment in the article about the fact that the date of the subject's death, December 25, is also the traditional birth date of Jesus. (I am assuming this is one editor on non-fixed IPs, because the content and IP info are all similar.) These additions are invariably sourced to non-reliable websites, dead links, and/or pages that do not mention the coincidence. I've just reverted similar additions twice today, so I am opening this discussion to provide more explanation and allow for discussion. To the IP editor, I recommend looking at our guidelines about self-published sources and why they are not appropriate for this purpose. To add this commentary, there should be a reliable, non-self-published source that not only gives the date of her death, but also specifically remarks about the coincidence that you want to highlight. --RL0919 (talk) 23:42, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Western and Christian Bias in Article
The article focuses on M D Murdock's view about Christ and Chritianity. Perhaps looking at her work from a broader perspective will deepen the readers understanding. 86.1.197.249 (talk) 18:01, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

== Her theories are overwhelmingly rejected by mainstream historians, textual critics, and archaeologists, but have been well received by other Christ mythicists such as Robert M. Price, a fellow of the Jesus Project. ==

Surely this is too sweeping a statement for an encyclopedia? At least deserves a few references. As others say in talk, the article reads like a hit job 92.11.182.76 (talk) 04:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Documentation is below in the section on reception. Note no one can seem to come up with mainstream historian, textual critics, or archaeologists who do support her theories.  Admittedly it could be rephrased which I've done.  I would note that most mainstream historians etc don't even bother actively rejecting as she is so obviously not competent (as Ehrman points out).
