Theologian Robert Beckford sets out to test a provocative claim: that the story of Jesus echoes older religious narratives rather than standing apart from them. He lines up the Christ story against accounts of Krishna, Buddha, and Mithra, pointing to shared details like miraculous births, visits from angels, and encounters with wise men that appear in each tradition, some predating Christianity by centuries. Beckford visits scholars and sacred sites connected to these figures, weighing whether such parallels suggest borrowing, independent invention, or a common human impulse to tell certain kinds of sacred stories. The film treats this as an open historical question rather than an attack on faith, laying the comparisons side by side and letting viewers judge how much overlap is coincidence and how much is influence. It closes without settling the matter, leaving the relationship between Christianity and the older myths it resembles as unresolved as when Beckford started asking.
