About this listen

In this bonus episode, "Archetypes of the Christ Legend", recorded at Mann Ranch in 1971, Joseph Campbell explores the Christ story not as literal history but as mythic revelation. Tracing shared archetypes across Buddhism, Mithraism, Hinduism, and Judaism, Campbell reveals how motifs like the virgin birth, the cave, exile, the threatened child, and the tyrant king express a universal pattern of spiritual awakening and renewal.

Pathways with Joseph Campbell is hosted by Brad Olson, PhD and is a production of the Joseph Campbell Foundation. It is produced by Tyler Lapkin. Executive Producer, John Bucher. Editing and audio services by Tristan Batt.
