The Devil's Pulpit

Subtitle: Astro-theological Sermons

Author: Rev. Robert Taylor

This series of sermons was meant to challenge the rigid and uncompromising views that were held by Christianity in England at the time. Reverend Taylor was originally a doctor who took up the holy orders in the Church of England. His intense curiosity and desire to find the truth found him studying the roots of Christianity and its interesting connections to astrology and the signs of the zodiac.

He came to the conclusion that Christianity is based on much older religions and its rituals are directly descended from ancient Egyptian and pagan practices. Although Taylor’s holy orders were revoked and he was banned from preaching in the U.K., he continued his work in Ireland. He later returned to England and became even more controversial than ever. Arrested for blasphemy, he kept writing in jail.

Upon his release he toured the universities of England with a colleague, debating and beating virtually everyone with material covered in this book. Subjects covered include the origins of Christianity, the real purpose of Jesus and the apostles, and the importance of the zodiac and its symbolism in relation to Christianity. Rev. Taylor was a trailblazer for all those who dare to question current beliefs.

The Biography of Satan

Author: Kersey Graves

If the devil exists, where is he? Is he really in a place called hell? If so, where is that? This well-researched book exposes much about the devil. Topics include the origins of hell, where the Christian devil was borrowed from, why the church needed a “bad guy” to represent evil, what the words devil and hell really meant in the Old Testament, “endless punishment” and its devastating effects, the devil’s twin brother – God, and why God was the author of evil according to the Bible. These and other startling facts are found in this work. Don’t accept the reality of the devil blindly. Read this book and decide for yourself.

GOD THE INVISIBLE KING

Categories: Catalog, Religious Controversy|Tags: |

GOD the Invisible King

Author: H. G. Wells

A good overview of God apart from religion. It is an effort to transmit the truest conception of God possible. Most religions claim God for them- selves in an exclusionary fashion – you must be a follower of the chosen faith before He will accept you into his kingdom. Wells rejects this view and believes that any man or woman who accepts God’s love as one person connecting to their own creator, is fine. An intermediary, despite religious claims, is not necessary. We are all God’s children. We are all seeking the same God, so to be dogmatic within a certain faith is small-minded and petty. If you want to explore an expanded view of God, then this book is for you.

Crux Ansata

Categories: Catalog, Religious Controversy|Tags: |

Crux Ansata

Subtitle: An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church

Author: H.G. Wells

Besides writing science fiction like The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man, Wells was interested in history and current events. This was written during World War II, after he had resigned as Minister of Allied Propaganda. While there he learned things that shocked him concerning the Roman Catholic Church. Much of what he found is in this book. After it was released a loud protest came from the Catholic press accusing Wells, a respected writer, of spreading half truths, innuendoes, and logical fallacies. He responded, saying the church routinely engages in a complex, modern boycott of liberal thought that requires us to fight this intolerance. This book was swept under the rug of history despite its respected author.

The Paganism in Our Christianity

Categories: Catalog, Religious Controversy|Tags: |

The Paganism in Our Christianity

Author: Arthur Weigall

It took three centuries after the death of Jesus for Christianity to become an organized religion, at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. During this formative time it was difficult for Christianity to compete and survive with the many forms of paganism. In order to succeed and draw new converts into the fold, a number of pagan beliefs and ideas were incorporated into the Christian faith.

Today we do not recognize these pagan features, but the author asserts that they are there and points them out in this well researched book. He reveals how this paganism was brought in. Many long standing pagan festivals were incorporated and given significance – for example, Christianity had abolished the Hebrew Sabbath of Saturday so made Sunday their day of worship, partly because it was the day of the resurrection, but largely because it was the weekly festival of the sun for its main competing rival, Mithraism. Also, December 25th was the birthday of the sun-god, Mithra, so this date was brought in and called “Christmas,” with full knowledge that Jesus was not born on this day. These are facts.

Many more are covered such as the influence of pagan gods, the trinity, miraculous occurrences, the composition of the New Testament, the resurrection, the doctrine of atonement, and much more. The author believes Christianity should be what its name infers – based on the teachings of Christ, and not derived from other sources. This book should be read by every interested Christian or student of the history of religions.
