SOME MISTAKES OF MOSES
Author: Robert Ingersoll
Ingersoll was widely known as the greatest orator of his time and could soundly thrash any challenger in a debate – especially on religion.
Many religious beliefs have no logic in them and Ingersoll was a master at exposing the outright cruelty, stupidity and foolishness that religions force us to embrace. Covers the Old Testament, worshiped by Jews and Christians alike, which supports things like slavery, warfare, polygamy and the idea that women should be treated as property. For example he asks: If you find slavery upheld in a book said to have been written by God, what would you expect to find in a book inspired by the devil?
Also, why should God tell me how to raise my children when he chose to drown all of his in the flood? Presents two men being interviewed at the gates of heaven – an honest, loving family man and a despicable thieving businessman. Guess who gets into heaven based on their beliefs and who ends up in hell.

The Jefferson Bible
Author: Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson completed this book around 1820, at age 77. His aim was to reveal the most genuine teachings from the New Testament. He was trying to find the very essence of the Christian faith and to share it in its clearest form. When finished, it was bound together but never produced for distribution. After Jefferson passed away the book remained hidden within his family until it was purchased in 1895 for the National Museum, which became the Smithsonian Institution. Soon after, it was privately printed for Congressional members. Starting in 1905, each new Senator and Representative received a copy. One no longer needs to be a member of Congress in order to experience the beliefs of this brilliant third U.S. President.

A Short History of the Bible
Author: Bronson C. Keeler
Reveals that the books composing the Bible were originally not considered inspired at all, and that this idea came later. It shows who first endorsed them in this way and why it was done. Keeler admits to having no religious agenda in writing this book, but instead holds a simple desire to uncover the truth. Great book on the origins of the Bible, highly recommended.

WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY?
Subtitle: A Critical Study of the Christos – Messiah Tradition
Author: Alvin Boyd Kuhn
Reveals that much of Christianity did not originate in the Middle East. Shows how, where and why many Egyptian spiritual teachings were adopted into Christian form and accepted as “history.” Kuhn states, “The gospels are not and never were histories.
They are now proven to have been cryptic dramas of the spiritual evolution of humanity and of the history of the human soul in its earthly tabernacle of flesh.” For Christianity to be expressed in the way it was first intended, as experienced during the first two centuries of its existence, one must acknowledge its pagan roots.
The author reveals how things were altered in the third century by the existing Christian priesthood and why.

THE BIRTH OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION
Author: Alfred Loisy
This book is arguably the most thorough and masterful book on the formation of Christianity ever written. It presents historical facts without many of the standard, Christian preconceived notions or beliefs attached. The author, Alfred Loisy, was a Roman Catholic priest in France until the age of 51. He was excommunicated from the Church in 1908, having been a leader of a movement within the Church known as “Catholic Modernism.” They considered Christianity to be a living faith that changed with history and the growth in knowledge. They believed that truth could not be changed, but the representations of this truth could be changed, as done by the Church in some areas. They believed doctrine is not the same as history—which is why Loisy wrote this book. Some may claim it was written out of “sour grapes” after being excommunicated, but the expulsion merely freed him to explain the truth accurately. Scholars outside the control of the Church generally share Loisy’s opinion. His most famous quote was that “Jesus came preaching the Kingdom, and what arrived was the Church.” He was so esteemed as a scholar, that he was appointed chair of history of religions in the Collège de France, where he served until 1931. He passed away in 1940, at the age of 83.

The Origins of the New Testament
Author: Alfred Loisy
Sometime around 180 AD, a biblical canon became necessary for the survival of the Church. Serious Gnostic threats already had gospels of their own, including Marcion, Valentinus, and Basilides. Alfred Loisy shows how the Canon was put together and how it evolved from there. He was a respected Roman Catholic priest in France until the age of 51, so few can match his knowledge on this subject.
He was, however, excommunicated in 1908, having been a leader of a movement known as “Catholic Modernism.” They believed that truth could not be changed, but the representations of this truth could be changed, as done by the Church in some areas. They believed doctrine is not the same as history–which is why Loisy wrote this book. Some may claim it was written in response to his expulsion, but it more accurately freed him to share the research that he had found.
The goal of the book is to map out the progressive evolution of the New Testament and, according to the author, show how the formation of the literature “was conditioned by the evolution of Christian propaganda.” Loisy was foremost a Christian, who considered the New Testament to be a great achievement of humanity–but criticizes the chain of miracles it portrays. Because the New Testament is spiritual in essence, it has mistakenly caused us in the modern world to believe that certain supernatural “events” played a real part in history. He asserts that some later additions were required by “the needs of the moment,” and closely examines the work of editors in each gospel. This scholarly work was written to complement his other book, The Birth of the Christian Religion, also brought back into print by The Book Tree.
