Jesus Christ

""Jesus Christ: A Fiction Founded Upon the Life of Apollonius of Tyana"" is a controversial book written by Michael Faraday. The book explores the possibility that the life of Jesus Christ, as depicted in the Bible, may have been based on the life of Apollonius of Tyana, a Greek philosopher and miracle worker who lived in the first century AD. Faraday argues that there are many similarities between the two figures, including their birth, teachings, miracles, and eventual death. He suggests that the story of Jesus may have been a deliberate fabrication by early Christian leaders, who sought to create a new religion based on the life of Apollonius.The book is highly critical of Christianity and has been widely criticized by religious scholars and leaders. However, it has also been praised by some for its bold and thought-provoking ideas. Overall, ""Jesus Christ: A Fiction Founded Upon the Life of Apollonius of Tyana"" is a challenging and controversial book that raises important questions about the origins of Christianity and the nature of religious belief.1883. Because in this age, the so-called Christian religion claims to have the supreme jurisdiction over the minds of mortals in all things pertaining to spiritual truth, I have invited the spirits who lived prior to, and after the advent of the Christian religion, to unravel the mystery which surrounds its origin. Many of their statements were new to me and will be new to the world. That they are truthful I have no doubt although some of them may have been somewhat modified by translation. I have given them as they were given to me and hope they may aid minds in earth life to form a correct opinion as to the value of the religion which has supplanted ancient Greek and Roman paganism in the home of its nativity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
