The Examination of the Prophecies - Thomas Paine - Bog

Bag om The Examination of the Prophecies

""The Examination of the Prophecies"" is a book written by Thomas Paine, a prominent figure in the American Revolution and a leading advocate for democracy and human rights. The book is a critical analysis of the Bible's prophecies, particularly those related to the coming of Jesus Christ and the end of the world. Paine argues that these prophecies are not divinely inspired but rather the product of human imagination and political manipulation. He also challenges the traditional Christian interpretation of these prophecies, arguing that they have been misinterpreted and misused to justify religious and political oppression. Paine's book is a highly controversial work that challenges the authority of organized religion and calls for a more rational and secular approach to understanding the world. It remains a landmark work of religious and philosophical criticism and a testament to Paine's radical and visionary thinking.I pass over the absurdity of seeing and following a star in the day time, as a man would a 'Will with the whip, ' or a candle and lantern at night; and also that of seeing it in the east, when themselves came from the east; for could such a thing be seen at all to serve them for a guide, it must be in the west to them. I confine myself solely to the passage called a prophecy of Jesus Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
