Pagan Frauds And Christian Precedents

By Joseph Wheless

Book Overview

Pagan Frauds And Christian Precedents is a book written by Joseph Wheless that explores the origins of Christianity and its relationship with pagan religions. The book argues that many of the stories and beliefs in Christianity were borrowed from pagan myths and legends, and that the early Christian church deliberately incorporated these elements to make the religion more appealing to converts.Wheless examines a variety of topics in the book, including the origins of the concept of the virgin birth, the resurrection of Jesus, and the idea of a savior who dies for the sins of others. He also explores the similarities between Christian beliefs and those of other religions, such as the ancient Egyptian religion and the cult of Mithras.Throughout the book, Wheless makes a case for the idea that Christianity is not a unique or original religion, but rather a synthesis of various pagan beliefs and practices. He argues that many of the stories in the Bible were borrowed from earlier myths and legends, and that the early Christian church deliberately incorporated these elements to make the religion more appealing to converts.Pagan Frauds And Christian Precedents is a controversial book that challenges many traditional beliefs about Christianity. While some readers may find the arguments presented in the book to be compelling, others may find them to be unconvincing or even offensive. Nonetheless, the book remains an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the origins of Christianity and its relationship with other religions.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Forgery in Christianity: A Documented Record of the Foundations of the Christian Religion, by Joseph Wheless.
