Was the story of Jesus stolen from the Egyptian god Horus? Erika Brown —soon to be Dr. Erika Brown— joins Lisa Fields in an insightful conversation about the myths surrounding the comparisons between Jesus and Horus. Erika, a biblical archaeologist and expert in ancient Egyptian religion, breaks down the historical and archaeological data behind Horus’ story and explains why the Jesus-Horus comparison just doesn’t hold up.
They also explore the importance of viewing ancient texts through their proper historical context and how African American Christians can thoughtfully engage with both faith and heritage without falling into misinformation.
