Mangoneutes: Being A Defense Of Nazarenus (1720) is a book written by John Toland, an Irish philosopher and freethinker. The book is a defense of the historical figure of Nazarenus, who is believed to be Jesus of Nazareth. Toland argues that Nazarenus was a real person and that the stories of his life and teachings are based on historical facts.Toland's book is divided into two parts. The first part is a defense of Nazarenus against those who deny his existence or question the authenticity of the stories about him. Toland argues that Nazarenus was a real person who lived in Palestine around the time of the Roman Empire. He cites historical evidence and argues that the stories about Nazarenus are consistent with the historical context of the time.The second part of the book is a critique of Christianity and the Church. Toland argues that the Church has distorted the teachings of Nazarenus and turned them into a system of superstition and dogma. He argues that the true teachings of Nazarenus were based on reason and morality, and that they were intended to promote human happiness and well-being.Overall, Mangoneutes: Being A Defense Of Nazarenus (1720) is a thought-provoking and controversial book that challenges traditional beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth and Christianity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
