Jesus Christ - Michael Faraday - Bog

""Jesus Christ: A Fiction Founded Upon the Life of Apollonius of Tyana"" is a controversial book written by Michael Faraday. The book challenges the traditional beliefs about Jesus Christ and suggests that his life story is based on that of Apollonius of Tyana, a first-century philosopher and mystic. Faraday argues that the similarities between the two figures are too great to be ignored and that the story of Jesus Christ is a work of fiction created by early Christian leaders. The book is a scholarly work that draws on historical and literary sources to support its claims. It is sure to spark debate among readers who are interested in the origins of Christianity and the historical Jesus.1883. Because in this age, the so-called Christian religion claims to have the supreme jurisdiction over the minds of mortals in all things pertaining to spiritual truth, I have invited the spirits who lived prior to, and after the advent of the Christian religion, to unravel the mystery which surrounds its origin. Many of their statements were new to me and will be new to the world. That they are truthful I have no doubt although some of them may have been somewhat modified by translation. I have given them as they were given to me and hope they may aid minds in earth life to form a correct opinion as to the value of the religion which has supplanted ancient Greek and Roman paganism in the home of its nativity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
