A Fun Beginning to the Trilogy
Bailey James walks into private eye Cade Parris in desperate need of help. She has amnesia and can't remember anything not even her own name. It was a great being to the trilogy and Cade was pretty creative in trying to figure out who Bailey is and who is after her.

D. Jason Cooper

Red Wheel / Weiser, 1996

Variety Has Marked Religious Practice From Early Times
Cooper's annotated bibliography identifies 29 works, and he indicates the way in which each assists readers in rediscovering the nature of early Christianity's most powerful rival religion. Episcopal priest Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie (1871-1940) asserted Mithrasism contributed more than Judaism to the story of Jesus--whose birth was fixed on the same date as that of Mithras, his predecessor. ...

Inner Traditions, 2005

A refreshing study of Mithraism
The book describes origins of the ancient Iranian religion Mithraism and its roots in Iranian culture and its association with Zoroastrianism. Mithra was worshiped as god of victory and protector of Arian nations. Mithraism spread in every corner of Roman Empire from second century B.C until 400 A.C when it was banned and Christianity was imposed as the state religion. Mr Nabarz gives a detailed ...

Franz Cumont

BiblioBazaar, 2007

A Towering Intellect in the Field of Mithraic Studies
Franz Cumont is a scholar who spent his entire life studying Mithras, and one which students of the New Age have been trying to "refute," debunk and reinterpret for a generation. However, Cumont remains the towering figure in the field of Mithraic research. This 1956 work is a copy of a 1903 Dover book, which itself was a boiled-down English translation of a far larger, 2-volume ...

A Fun Second part to a Trilogy
The second installment of Mithras Series begins with Jack Dakota trying to catch bail-jumper M.J. O'Leary. Jack thinks this'll be an easy job instead M.J., think he's someone else, attacks him. I like how she was able to take care of herself. They realize they've been set up and team up to find out who. It was a very exciting read.

The Religion of the Mithras Cult in the Roman Empire: Mysteries of the Unconquered Sun

Excellent read for academics, but not accessible for non experts.
An excellent book on understanding the 3D structure of Mithraeums. However, this is a highly academic and technical book, and is aimed at experts in the field. I read this in the same time when I was reading (Mithras Reader Vol1 An academic and religious journal of Greek, Roman, and Persian Studies) and found them to complement each other very well.

Pagan Christs

6 reviews, 2008

Superb Introduction to Comparative Religion
`Pagan Christs' is actually a more approachable (simplified) version of another work, `Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology' (1928) and should be viewed in that context. Indeed, the explanatory scholarship and arguments are detailed in the earlier book, and it is logical to assume one would have read it before coming to `Pagan Christs'. Having said that, I believe the more natural ...

The Avestan Hymn to Mithra (University of Cambridge Oriental Publications)

Cambridge University Press, 1959

The Avestan Hymn to Mithra, written in the fifth century BC, is the one extensive, ancient literary record of the attributes, companions and cult of the Iranian god whose worship spread, five or six centuries later, as far as Britain. Dr Gershevitch here reproduces Geldner's text and critical apparatus of the Hymn, adding his own introduction, translation and commentary. The introduction offers an orientation on the main problems concerning ...

Paul and Roman Mithraism?
Per the editorial review: "In his own writings, Paul draws from Mithraic vocabulary and symbolism." That's interesting, considering the earliest Roman mention of Mithras was by Statius (ca. 80-92 AD) and modern scholarship places the earliest known Roman Mithraic bull-slaying monument to ca. 100 AD (see Richard Gordon, "The date and significance of CIMRM 598 [British Museum, Townley ...
