Paganism in Our Christianity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169756342)

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 various aspects of Christianity, including its rituals, symbols, and doctrines, and traces their origins to pagan cultures and religions. Weigall argues that many of the core beliefs and practices of Christianity, such as the concept of the Trinity and the celebration of Christmas and Easter, have their roots in pagan mythology and rituals. He also explores the ways in which Christianity has absorbed and adapted pagan beliefs and practices over time, and how this has shaped the religion as we know it today. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of Christianity and the complex interplay between different religious traditions and cultures.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.
