The World’s Saviors
The following is an abridged list of the world’s saviors. It does not yet include the saviors of the aboriginal people of Australia or the indigenous people of the Americas, but it will. Also, we will add short descriptions of each savior so that comparisons can be made between and among them. You will be amazed at how much these sages have in common, and how their stories mimic one another. For example, many of these saviors were born of virgins, were conceived by a god, and lived very short lives. Many were considered sons of God. You will be moved by the universality of their lives regarding the principles each espoused. Whether legend or myth, there is much truth to be gleaned by this study. You decide! So, stay tuned!
