The Bible In India, Or The Life Of Iezeus Christna by Louis Jacolliot
The Life of Iezeus Christna
A provocative 19th-century comparative study arguing that Christian narratives and the figure of Jesus derive from earlier Indian (and related Eastern) myths—especially the Krishna tradition—by drawing parallels in stories, rituals, names, and supposed linguistic roots; it advances philological, historical, and archaeological claims to support a diffusionist thesis that biblical accounts have Eastern antecedents. The book is speculative and polemical, reflecting colonial-era orientalist methods, and has been widely criticized for selective evidence and methodological weaknesses.
