Pagan Frauds And Christian Precedents

Pagan Frauds and Christian Precedents is a book written by Joseph Wheless, a lawyer and scholar of comparative religions. The book is a critical analysis of the origins of Christianity and its relationship with pagan religions. Wheless argues that many of the beliefs and practices of Christianity were borrowed from earlier pagan religions and that the Christian Church deliberately suppressed this fact in order to establish its own authority.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the similarities between Christianity and pagan religions, particularly those of ancient Greece and Rome. Wheless argues that many of the key Christian doctrines, such as the virgin birth, the resurrection, and the concept of a savior, can be traced back to earlier pagan myths and beliefs. He also examines the origins of Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter, which he claims were originally pagan festivals.The second part of the book focuses on the historical evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ. Wheless argues that there is no credible evidence for the existence of Jesus as a historical figure and that the stories of his life and teachings were based on earlier pagan myths and legends.Overall, Pagan Frauds and Christian Precedents is a controversial and provocative book that challenges many of the assumptions and beliefs of traditional Christianity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of religion and the history of Christianity.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.
