Alvin Boyd Kuhn (1880 -1963) was an American Theosophist. A publisher who wrote books that he published himself, he lectured and was a proponent of the Christ myth theory. Highly influenced by the work of Gerald Massey and Godfrey Higgins, Kuhn contended that the Bible derived its origins from other Pagan religions and much of Christian history was pre-extant as Egyptian mythology. He also proposed that the Bible was symbolic and did not depict real events and argued that the leaders of the church started to misinterpret the bible at the end of the third century.
