Hi, Gilberto:
The term "astrotheology," in the sense I talked about it, relates to the
idea that many ancient societies developed a mythos concerning the
zodiac, which was also utilized in portions of the Tanakh and the New
Testament. The subject is discussed in detail in that Zeitgeist film I
mentioned the other day.
What I suggested is the possibility that the narrative of Christ, in the
Gospels, was intentionally written to conform to that mythos.

"... the modern challenge is how to live with uncertainty. The
basic fault lines today are not between people with different
beliefs but between people who hold these beliefs with an
element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs with
a pretense of certitude." — Peter L. Berger, sociologist
