Key aspects of "The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors" include:Comparative Mythology: Graves's book examines stories of mythical figures and gods from various cultures and historical periods who are said to have undergone crucifixion or suffered similar forms of death and resurrection. He suggests that these stories, which predate the story of Jesus Christ, share common elements.List of Saviors: The book identifies sixteen different figures from different cultures, including Osiris (Egypt), Krishna (Hinduism), Dionysus (Greek), Mithras (Persian), and others, who are said to have undergone experiences resembling the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Parallelism and Similarities: Graves highlights parallels between these mythological stories and the narrative of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. He suggests that these parallels challenge the uniqueness of the Christian story and question the historical accuracy of the events described in the Gospels.Skepticism and Critical Perspective: "The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors" is written from a skeptical standpoint, critiquing the claims of religious orthodoxy and suggesting that the crucifixion and resurrection narratives may have been borrowed or adapted from earlier mythologies.
