The Dying and Rising God
The idea that Jesus's death and resurrection is patterned after this template doesn't really have much data to support it. The idea that this was something that people consciously or even unconsciously stole from earlier ideas in order to create these new stories doesn't fit the data we know about Jesus. It's something that we impose on the ancient world to try to make sense of things, but that don't really have any real analytical value.
