The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East is a 1970 monograph by philologist John Marco Allegro. Allegro proposes an etymology-driven reconstruction of biblical myth that treats Christian narratives as coded accounts of Near Eastern fertility cults that used psychoactive fungi in their rituals. The book depicts Jesus as a mythological figure rather than a historical teacher. The book sparked immediate controversy, prompted strong scholarly repudiation, and positioned the book as an enduring touchpoint in debates about psychedelics and religion.
