Apologetics Mp3 - Refuting Zeitgeist

I copied the following text and image from Apologetics 315:

If you have heard of or watched the online conspiracy-theory movie Zeitgeist, then this audio file may be helpful in dissecting just how deceptive and incorrect it is. In this audio file, Glenn Peoples unpacks and refutes many of the movie's false claims and errors. A good audio file to point people to who may have questions. This audio is from Glenn's "Say Hello to My Little Friend" podcast, found here. Blog here.

In the film Zeitgeist, the narrator claims that there are many gods before Jesus who were "solo Messiahs" who died and rose again on the third day.  One such god was the Son god of Egypt.  Many people are making such assertions that Christians simply copied the myths of previous gods and applied them to Jesus. 

I saw one such argument made by Dr. Bart Erhman in a debate against Dr. William Lane Craig.  Sadly Bart didn't having any quotes from other qualified men to back up this claim, and People's points out in this audio file that the narrator of Zeitgeist, never quotes anyone and never interviews any historians.  He simply throws out claims and they are never supported by research.  The narrator of Zeitgeist also dismisses any and all sources for the historical Jesus by non-Christians in and near the first century in a few sentences.  In this audio Glenn Peoples does a good job of playing clips from Zeitgeist and then provides sound refutation to those Zeitgeist bits. 


I'd recommend this audio clip for your commute to work.  I don't think you could find something better to listen to on Christian talk radio, besides the Frank Pastore Show, of course.
