DESCRIPTION:
Well referenced and well informed Amazon Customer Really enjoying this. It is a bit dense to read straight through but great to dip into at intervals. Really well referenced which I particularly like for this kind of topic and not the uniformed rave that this sort of subject sometimes presents as. Absolutely fascinating to read. It is exactly as it says - parallel myths (stories if you don't resonate wit. Historical Detective Doane presents a candid look at Christianity and its parallels in ALL the ancient systems of worship. This book is comparable to Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons and is very well referenced. The author illustrates his subject matter with various archeological dilineations. Additionally, the author provides clarity to an ancient diety or religious syste. A Customer said A good read. T.W. Doane delivers with finesee, discussing Christianity and its relation and similarities with the stories from Krishna (Hinduism), Budhha (Buddhism), etc. A must read for every sincere seeker of Truth!
Max Muller."The same thing which is now called Christian Religion existed among the Ancients. Augustine."Our love for what is old, our reverence for what our fathers used, makes us keep still in the church, and on the very altar cloths, symbols which would excite the smile of an Oriental, and lead him to wonder why we send missionaries to his land, while cherishing his faith in ours."—James Bonwick.The subject of religion is one of the most explored areas in literature evoking emotional responses that touch all faiths. They have begun to call Christian the true religion which existed before."—St. The Doane book is unparalleled in its presentation of the evolvement of myths and legends into the sacred texts used by numerous religions to establish their separate identities. It provides a fascinating insight into the development of belief systems that have contributed to the development of mankind and its relationship with the spiritual. The massive array of footnotes move the text away form commentary and into the relm of a finely prepared scholarly thesis."Covers all the bases of controversy including: paganism in Christianity, circumcision, and more" - Review• Complete, unabridged edition with original illustrations• Tablet-fr
