Excerpt from Myth, Magic, and Morals: A Study of Christian Origins
It might be argued that evil among men is their own fault. But let Professor Sanday become a biologist and study the natural history of insects and parasitic organisms; and I question if his belief in the love and goodness of an omni potent author of nature will not be rudely put to the test. But if we reject the first article of the creeds which runs, I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible, then we reject monistic theism. There is, as I was careful to point out, plenty of room left in the universe for loving spirits, but not for omnipotent ones.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of Christianity by analyzing the earliest written sources. The author delves into the teachings and writings of Paul, the apostle who played a crucial role in the spread of the faith. They discuss Paul's unique perspective on Jesus Christ, which differed from the teachings of Jesus' original disciples, and the resulting conflict between Paul and these "genuine apostles." The author explores the role of visions and revelations in Paul's ministry, examining how he interpreted the events of Jesus' life through a lens of divine intervention and cosmic significance. The author goes on to examine the origins of the Gospels, the earliest accounts of Jesus' life, and their relationship to Paul's writings. The author analyzes the specific literary and historical influences on each of the four Gospels, comparing and contrasting their depictions of Jesus and his teachings. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional views of Christianity's origins and reveals a complex and sometimes controversial history behind the faith.
