Paganism in Our Christianity Hardback - 2010

Paganism in Our Christianity is a book written by Arthur Weigall that explores the influence of pagan beliefs and practices on Christianity. The book examines the similarities between ancient pagan religions and Christianity, arguing that many Christian traditions and rituals were borrowed from earlier pagan religions. Weigall discusses the origins of Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter, and how they were influenced by pagan festivals. He also examines the role of pagan gods and goddesses in Christian art and literature, and the influence of pagan philosophy on Christian theology. The book provides a fascinating look at the history of Christianity and the ways in which it has been shaped by pagan beliefs and practices.1928. Christian theology, the author asserts, is in part quite acceptable and in part totally unacceptable to the modern mind: such of its doctrines and beliefs as have the genuine authority of the historic Jesus Christ are unassailable and eternal, but those which are based upon the early Christians' interpretation of our Lord's nature and mission are largely untenable. Much of the generally accepted Christian doctrine, the author continues, is derived from pagan sources and not from Jesus Christ at all, a great deal of ecclesiastical Christianity being, indeed, so definitely paganism redressed that one might almost speak of it as the last stronghold of the old heathen gods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
