Jesus Christ, like the Buddha and Mohammed, is dealt with in great detail in The Power of Myth. Joseph Campbell is able to draw parallels and differences between the Christ story and other religions. He uses Christ as a God-figure, a scholar, a teacher, and a metaphor for many belief systems around the world.
