Description: The Hidden Story of Jesus (2007)
[...]
As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, theologian Dr Robert Beckford
investigates remarkable parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of
them predating Christianity by thousands of years.
The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by
angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous
birth, and was visited by wise men bearing gifts. He, too, began his ministry
at about 30-years-old and performed such miracles as walking on water and
feeding 500.
Some people in India believe that Jesus did not die on the cross but escaped
from Roman Palestine and ended up in Kashmir. There, they say, he continued to
preach, had a wife and child, and later died and was buried.
Jesus was, of course, born a Jew, and Christians believe he is the Messiah
prophesied in the Torah, which is the holy scripture of the Jews. Meanwhile,
Muslims revere Jesus as a prophet but do not believe he died on the cross.
Instead, according to Islam, God saved him and took him up to heaven, and he
will return and be buried next to Muhammed.
In this Channel 4 (UK) Christmas Day programme, Robert Beckford attempts to
unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story
across the world and asks which is the real one, and where this leaves the
Christian story and his own belief in Jesus.
