4.0 out of 5 stars Think About It, July 14, 2002
By TheHighlander (Richfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a book that must be read with an open mind. Those with hard-core beliefs will not like this book. They will not give it the proper thought. The book focuses on Christianity, probably because it is the most popular religion today, and only touches on most other religions. That is the reason I could not bring myself to award a five star review. But the author's points are worth considering for an open minded person.

The book reviews letters and speeches by some of the founding fathers including Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine. it touches on the native American with a review of the words of Chief Seattle. Talks on the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Essenes and Mithra releigons. It follows the history of the English Bible and the changes, reprints and revisions that have befell it. The history of many of the stories in the Bible, how they existed before Christianity, the parallels in beliefs of Christianity and other religions that existed prior to it. The customs around The Last Supper as well as the contradictions between the four gospels.

A good read for those interested in the true origins of religion and what man believed before the religions of today. This book should be read as one of many on the subject but no thorough research on the subject should leave this book out. Read it with an open mind and think on it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixture of Sugar and Sand, December 8, 1999
By carlo harris (Taipei, Taiwan) - See all my reviews
I found "The Book" very informative on contemporary issues such as women, religion and politics, religious persecution, etc. However, the over-biased nature of the critiques in some of the articles lessens its creditability. Several of the historical essays abound with fallacies and misinformation. The strength of the book lies in its attack on Christian fundamentalism. The fact is that historically, Christianity has been the enemy of freethought and intellectualism. Most Christians are not encouraged to examine their scriptures critically but to accept what they don't undertand "on faith." It provides convincing arguments to show that the Bible is not the moral yardstick that Christians proclaim it to be. For example, it deals with savagery of Yahweh's Laws and commands, and looks critically at the New Testament's teachings. Many of writers of are very well-respected in their fields such as Robert Eisenman, known for his work on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Overall, this is a pretty good buy and it makes for interesting reading. I think that it belongs on the bookshelf of every Christian home. Though some of the material is a bit sketchy, it will make the serious Christian reexamine his faith in light of the many complex issues--from ancient to contemporary--that have to addressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Christians Should Have One, March 13, 2005
This is a great book that exposes religion, and in particular, Christianty for what it truly is, which is a 2000+ year old fraud that has been perpetuated by the church at all cost. This is just one of many books that tells the truth and facts about the Christian religion. So the information is out there if a
person really desires to know the truth concerning his church and all churches. I have been on both sides of the fence, so to speak, as I was a Christian for nearly 30 years before I woke up to the truth. Sure, it was not easy to dump a life-time of false
theology, however, I'm glad that I'm totally free of the organized relgion that used to run my life. The christian church needs to be exposed for what it really is, as its been a
horrible scam to millions of victims so in this regard, all Christians should own a copy of this book, although most of them
are way to close minded to even read it. I would highly recommend "THE BIBLE FRAUD" By Tony Bushby as well.
