5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Detective, March 25, 2001
Doane presents a candid look at Christianity and its parallels in ALL the ancient systems of worship. This book is comparable to Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons and is very well referenced. The author illustrates his subject matter with various archeological dilineations. Additionally, the author provides clarity to an ancient diety or religious system by providing a brief definition. This book is a great starting point for those begining a study into ancient religions and provides the stepping stones to take one's study in a specific direction. For the informed researcher this book provides a source who's textbook quality could be used as a foundation for further research.

Do not believe the review by a reader from Colorado. This book is scholarly, well written and deals only with facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the real "Good Book", April 23, 2003
By A Customer
I gave this book as a gift to my son, who is engaged to a Christian girl, and was being strong-armed into that mind-set. He already possessed valid instincts about what God is, and how contrived the bible sounds - but this book helped to really arm him and help him hold his ground. The "word of god" is clearly presented here as being a work of men, altered through time, influenced by many different cultures. We need books like this to steer clear of that superstitious regime!
