John M. Robertson

Pagan Christs: Studies in Comparative Hierology is a book written by John M. Robertson that explores the similarities and differences between ancient pagan religions and Christianity. The book delves into the idea that many aspects of Christianity, such as the birth story of Jesus, the concept of the Trinity, and the crucifixion and resurrection, were influenced by earlier pagan religions. Robertson examines the evidence for these claims, drawing on historical and archaeological sources, as well as comparative analysis of myths and religious practices. The book also explores the role of symbolism and ritual in both pagan and Christian religions, and how these elements have been adapted and transformed over time. Overall, Pagan Christs offers a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the historical and cultural roots of Christianity.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an understanding of their psychological development and providing empirically supported recommendations to work with them effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology, sociology, men’s studies, and neurobiology to describe the developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these wounded men—developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian men want to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so. This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.
