Video Description (from Youtube)

Why is Astrotheology almost never discussed in universities? And what happens when ancient texts are examined through the lens of myth, astrology, and comparative religion? In this fascinating

MythVision conversation, Dr. Robert Price responds to questions about Acharya S, Richard Carrier, mythicism, and the claim that the 12 Tribes of Israel correspond to the 12 signs of the Zodiac — a connection discussed by ancient writers such as Philo and Josephus.

Dr. Price explores:

- Why academia is often slow to embrace new paradigms

- The role of Thomas Kuhn's 'Structure of Scientific Revolutions'

- Whether biblical figures may have mythic or astral origins

- The historical debate surrounding Astrotheology

- How ideas move from the fringe into mainstream scholarship

- His thoughts on Acharya S and Richard Carrier

This episode is a deep dive into one of the most controversial questions in biblical studies: How much of ancient religion was shaped by the stars?

Overview & Key Concepts

What is Astrotheology?

The term Astrotheology is used in the context of 18th century scholarship aiming at the discovery of the original religion, particularly primitive

monotheism. Unlike astrolatry, which usually implies polytheism, frowned upon as idolatrous by Christian authors since Eusebius, Astrotheology is any "religious system founded upon the observation of the heavens", and in particular, may be monotheistic.
<br><br>Astrolatry is the worship of stars and other heavenly bodies as deities, or the association of deities with heavenly bodies. The most common instances of this are Sun gods and Moon gods in polytheistic systems worldwide. Also notable is the association of the planets with deities in Babylonian, and hence in Greco-Roman religion, viz. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Who is Robert Price?

Robert McNair Price (born July 7, 1954) is an American theologian and writer, known for arguing against the existence of a historical Jesus (the

Christ myth theory). He taught philosophy and religion at the Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary. He is a professor of biblical criticism at the Center for Inquiry Institute, and the author of a number of books on theology and the historicity of Jesus. Price is a fellow of the Jesus Seminar, a group of 150 writers and scholars who study the historicity of Jesus, the organizer of a Web community for those interested in the history of Christianity, and sits on the advisory board of the Secular Student Alliance. He is a religious skeptic, especially of orthodox Christian beliefs, occasionally describing himself as a Christian atheist.

What is Israel?

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in the Middle East. Located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern

shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest.

What is the Zodiac?

In Western astrology, and formerly astronomy, the zodiac is divided into 12 signs. Each sign occupying 30 degrees of celestial longitude and roughly

corresponding to the constellations Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The twelve astrological signs form a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, which takes the ecliptic as the origin of latitude and the Sun's position at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.
