Christianity Derived From Heathen And Oriental Systems

""Christianity Derived From Heathen And Oriental Systems"" is a book written by Kersey Graves, first published in 1875. The book explores the origins and similarities between various religious systems, including Christianity, and argues that many of the beliefs and practices found in Christianity can be traced back to earlier pagan and Eastern religions. Graves draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, mythology, and historical accounts, to support his thesis. The book covers topics such as the nature of God, the concept of the afterlife, the role of priests and religious leaders, and the use of symbols and rituals in religious practice. Graves' work is considered controversial and has been criticized by some scholars for its lack of academic rigor and reliance on speculative theories. However, it remains a significant contribution to the study of comparative religion and the history of Christianity.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors or Christianity before Christ, by Kersey Graves.
