Ancient Greco
Christians and Christian Scholars, would you agree with this statement from the Encyclopedia of Religion?

"The category of dying and rising gods, once a major topic of scholarly investigation, must now be understood to have been largely a misnomer based on imaginative reconstructions and exceedingly late or highly ambiguous texts....In most cases, the decipherment and interpretation of texts in the language native to the deity's cult has led to questions as to the applicability of the category. The majority of evidence for Near Eastern dying and rising deities occurs in Greek and Latin texts of late antiquity, usually post-Christian in date" (Cited in: http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/JesusEvidenceCrucifiedSaviors.htm#Gods).

If so, can you produce some actual reference to documents and dates? Encyclopedia of Religion conveniently does not cite its sources, and ancient Christian apologist Justin Martyr, in fact, acknowledges that the "dying and rising god" myths of ancient Greco-Roman society did, in fact, predate Christianity.

I've no idea who produced this Encyclopedia of Religion, but from the quote you provide it seems careful not to suggest that there were no 'dying and rising god' myths predating Christianity. Consider:
"LARGELY a misnomer ....In MOST cases, ....The MAJORITY of evidence..."

That means that it acknowledges that a certain amount of the evidence is not a misnomer, that in some cases there is evidence, and that a minority of evidence is available. All of that would fit in with Justin Martyr acknoweldging such myths of ancient Grecian and Roman society, prior to Christianity. For all we know, it could turn out that 49% of the evidence points to pre-Christian myths of that nature, and only 51% has now been discarded as reputable evidence.
