Description
A comprehensive and fully illustrated history of the evolution of Christianity. This volume was written for individuals who have realised that basing
...
one's worldview on consensus of opinion, popular myth and fable is quite unproductive. In this context, this book would be of immense value for anyone who seeks genuine, factual and scientific answers concerning their unexamined beliefs. This book promises to assist anyone who desires to become a well-informed and self-actualised individual empowered to continue on with their life as both a rational and critical thinker. Consequently, this volume is aimed primarily at perceptive and motivated individuals who may lack the necessary background knowledge but who would sincerely and genuinely, desire to become more knowledgeable regarding the evolution and manifestation of Christianity and its contrary dogmas. Accordingly, this encyclopaedic book has been carefully designed and set out in order to offer the reader a step-by-step edification. Researched and written by an historiographer who specialises in the religious expression of the Hellenistic world, this book promises to be of great benefit for the more serious student of religious beliefs. Here they will find the most up-to-date information on, inter alia, ancient polytheism, early Israelite and Judahite monolatrism, Zoroastrianism, Zurvanism, various branches of Judaism, Apocalypticism, Greek and Roman <i>mysteria</i>, Gnosticism, and nascent Christianity.
