Eliseo Ferrer

Eliseo Ferrer is a Spanish author, anthropologist and mythologist (Ontiñena-Huesca, Spain). He studied Information
Sciences and Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid.

He has published several books; among them, "Sacrifice and Drama of the Sacred King (Genealogy, anthropology
and history of the myth of Christ)", of the year 2021, where he proposes an original theory of Christianity
of anthropological, textual and historical-critical character. All this from postulates of an essentialist atheism and from
a methodology based on criteria of gnoseological materiality and critical holism. As a central theme, the book developed, through a procedural and dialectical character, the myth of the death and resurrection of divinity: from Neolithic cults to
the ecclesiastical imagery of the crucifixion on Golgotha.

Based on the same methods, in 2023 he published "Human Sacrifices, Cannibalism and Ritual Sexuality in the
Ancient World (Elements for a materialist theory of the construction of the sacred)".

Although the vision of Christianity that he proposed in “Sacrifice and Drama of the Sacred King” was complemented
in his book from the end of 2024: “The Christian Myth, According to the Texts (Texts and Ideological Contexts of
Early Christianity)”, where he offered an analytical vision of the myth of the divine incarnation in the human soul
(of Orphic-Platonic and Greek character), on whose ideas were superimposed in the first century the myth of
the eschatological presence on earth of the judge-savior (of Hellenistic character and Persian origin), and the myth of the death and resurrection of the divinity (of Hellenistic character and archaic origin).

Finally, in October 2025, the electronic book "Elements for a Materialist Theory of the Construction of the Sacred" appeared: the digital version of the book published in 2023.
