Acharya S is the pen name of Dorothy Melne Murdock, an American critic of Christianity who operates a web site, "Truth be Known". On it she contends that Jesus is a fictional person, and a plagiarised pagan myth stolen by the Early Christian Church, and supposed as an actual person so as to unify the Roman State.
She bills herself as a historian, mythologist, religious scholar, and linguist, as well as an archeologist. As academic qualification she holds a Master of Liberal Arts degree from Franklin and Marshall College.
Her book, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold is an expanded version of her web site. It is based in secondary sources, including Barbara Walker's "Women's Encyclopedia of Myth and Secrets" and "The World's 16 Crucified Saviors" by Kersey Graves. The latter is the main source of her book. Both of these have themselves been criticised, as of suspect authority.
Her book The Suns of God expanded on this premise. In it she speaks primarily on the lives of Krishna and Buddha, and how they parrallel Jesus Christ.
