About This Book

An outspoken critical examination of traditional Christian claims, arguing that biblical texts are human products rather than flawless divine revelation; it surveys expectations for a true revelation, applies higher criticism to the Old and New Testaments, discusses the historical development of scripture, myths about Moses, and the relation between ancient religious cosmology and modern science; it analyzes concepts like Jehovah, prayer, resurrection, the gospel witnesses, Christ's divinity and the nature of Christianity, and considers determinism, apologetics, ethical teachings, and the religion's social consequences while urging spiritual discernment and proposing a secular moral outlook.
