MythVision explores the history of religion, biblical scholarship, mythology, and ancient texts.
In this video, we take a deep dive into claims made by Frank Turek about Mithraism and alleged pagan parallels to Christianity.
Turek confidently presents a series of arguments dismissing connections between Jesus and earlier religious traditions — but is that the full picture?
Here’s the issue:
Confidence is not evidence.
We break down:
What Turek gets right about Mithras
Where his argument becomes selective and incomplete
What actual scholars and primary sources say about Mithraism
Why early Christians like Justin Martyr and Tertullian acknowledged similarities
And how modern scholarship frames the debate (far beyond internet myths)
This video is NOT claiming that Christianity copied Mithras directly.
That’s a strawman — and serious scholars don’t argue that.
Instead, we explore the real question:
👉 Did early Christianity emerge within a broader cultural world already filled with similar themes?
Because once you look at:
Ancient Near Eastern traditions
Greco-Roman religious patterns
And peer-reviewed academic research
…the conversation becomes far more complex than a 5-minute apologetics answer.
If you care about truth, not just winning arguments, this is a discussion you need to hear.
Watch until the end — and decide for yourself.
