Prophet of Zeitgeist: A Critique of the Religious Theories of Jordan Maxwell

One of the more unusual figures discussing religion on the internet is Jordan Maxwell. His videos have become standard fare on outlets such as Youtube and he was the inspiration for the film Zeitgeist. His claim that religion is based on the zodiac has won him a loyal following and he has influenced many other authors. His use of etymologies, supposed historical facts, and often senesationalistic claims have earned him a following of those raised on conspiracy theorist fare such as The X-Files. But once we put his claims under the microscope, just how accurate are they? In Prophet of Zeitgeist, Albert McIlhenny tests the wild and wooly claims of Jordan Maxwell and discovers that very little of his best known material is true. By the end of the book, it is doubtful anyone could ever take seriously the religious theories of one of America's best known conspiracy theorists.
