{"product_id":"pagan-and-christian-creeds-edward-carpenter-9781528709774","title":"Pagan and Christian Creeds - Their Origin and Meaning","description":"First published in 1921, this vintage book looks at paganism and Christianity, exploring their various connections and analysing where these similarities came from and what they mean. Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) was an English philosopher, poet, and pioneering activist for gay rights. He had many notable friends including the Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore and celebrated American poet Walt Whitman; and also corresponded with many famous figures, including Jack London, Mahatma Gandhi and Annie Besant, amongst others. Contents include: \"Solar Myths and Christian Festivals\", \"The Symbolism of the Zodiac\", \"Totem-Sacraments and Eucharists\", \"Food and Vegetation Magic\", \"Magicians, Kings and Gods\", \"Rites of Expiation and Redemption\", \"Pagan Initiations and the Second Birth\", \"Myth of the Golden Age\", \"The Savior-god and the Virgin-mother\", \"Ritual Dancing\", \"The Sex-Taboo\", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1528709772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781528709774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Obscure Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.72d","brand":"Edward Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136747417855,"sku":"9781528709774","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_598eba26-538d-474b-a9db-3c1bd6059195.jpg?v=1770164539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pagan-and-christian-creeds-edward-carpenter-9781528709774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
