A review by obstinateheadstrongcurl
The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East by John M. Allegro

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.

This quote from a Time magazine article about the book pretty much sums up my thoughts:

To some biblical scholars in Britain, the new book looked like the psychedelic ravings of a hippie cultist. To others, it was merely an outlandish hoax. One described it as reading "like a Semitic philologist’s erotic nightmare."
