Jesus and The Dionysus Conspiracy | MythVision

The TRUE Jesus & Dionysus CONSPIRACY – MythVision's latest documentary dives into one of the most provocative mysteries in religious history: the striking parallels between Jesus and Dionysus. Were the Gospel stories of Jesus inspired by the Greek god of wine and revelry? This eye-opening exploration takes you through centuries-old debates, from early Church Fathers who recognized—and even tried to distance Jesus from—the unmistakable Dionysian echoes in the Gospels, to those who embraced the overlaps as reflections of divine truth.

But we’re just scratching the surface. In this documentary, we turn to the groundbreaking work of Classicist and New Testament scholar Dennis R. MacDonald, whose latest research shines new light on the literary roots of the Jesus narrative. Imagine a behind-the-scenes dialogue between the author of the Gospel of Luke and his mysterious patron, Theophilus, as Luke pieces together his Gospel. Using sources like Euripides' Bacchae, Luke crafts a Jesus who mirrors Dionysus in ways both subtle and profound. And the Gospel of John? It doesn’t stop at mere allusions. John takes the Dionysian elements further, blurring the lines between Jesus and the god of wine and ecstasy in ways the early Church could neither ignore nor explain.

This documentary is a journey through history, literature, and theology, uncovering how the New Testament authors may have drawn from Dionysian traditions to shape the very identity of Jesus. Join us as we peel back the layers of the "Jesus & Dionysus Conspiracy" and reveal a story that’s been hiding in plain sight for two thousand years.
