📝 Description

This controversial book by John Marco Allegro, a scholar who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls, argues that early Christianity was based on a secret cult centered around the use of the Amanita muscaria mushroom. Allegro uses linguistic analysis to suggest that the New Testament is a coded text designed to hide the cult's psychedelic rituals from the Roman authorities. Upon its release in 1970, the book was met with widespread condemnation from both religious and academic communities, effectively ending Allegro's career, though it remains a seminal text in the study of ethnomycology.
